It is a really really nice extension, but unfortunately, when trying to drag and drop a video in the PR description it doesn't work. This is an essential part of my daily work so I couldn't proceed longer with it and had to remove it :( If they fix it, I will start using it the second they publish the update
ESSENTIAL app for anyone working on GitHub. Good documentation = good software. The only downside is that it doesn't work on Android browser.
I'm a core CKEditor 5 developer (on which GH Writer is based) so I'm surely biased :D However, I can't imagine working without GitHub Writer anymore. It's so much more convenient to see the actual content that I'm writing, not its source – it gives me certainty that after posting it all will look good. The readability of the content while editing it is also much better – you see the structure (headings, lists) and e.g. images. From UX perspective, working with lists, images and tables is also easier in GitHub than in Markdown, especially when creating more complex content.
