Ratings and Reviews
Honestly Great! One problem though
This extension works very well for what I need it for. But there’s one little bug that’s been driving me crazy. Mostly, every term is converted just fine with no issue. But in paragraphs with more than one of the same term in it (Ex. “A and their friend go to A’s house”), the program only converts the first instance of the term. Any remaining instances in the same paragraph will remain untouched/unchanged. (Ex. “B and their friend go to A’s house”).
EDIT: This is fixable not just through RegEx (possible but a little difficult to understand), but also by just briefly highlighting a word in the paragraph (doesn’t matter what), and this fixes every other instance on the page as well. You just need to do that every time you refresh or go to a new site. (This works on Safari but I haven’t tried other engines)
Developer Response ,
Yeah. Unfortunately this would require you to do some regex like /A/g but that should do what you need :)
Exactly what I was looking for :D
The app worked right away after enabling it in Settings with no issues at all.
The UI is blissfully simple to use, and entirely within Safari.
I have not encountered any form of ads or other annoyances within the extension.
It supports both plain text and RegEx replacements, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it supports capturing groups.
($1, etc. seem to function as expected within the “Replace with Y” field)
The only feature suggestions I can think of are that it would be nice to have toggle-able groups of substitutions, or an optional URL (RegEx) to restrict where a substitution or group applies.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the kind words! Great suggestions, I will add those to my list of things to look in to.
Amazing!😍
Listen I’ve never left a review a day in my life on anything, but I had to leave one here. Thank you so much for creating this app. I’ve been dying to find something like this to work with safari. Works perfectly! Highly recommend!❤️
