- (2025-09-02) Libby Caligari: exactly what we've been needing! very impressive functionality and i'm looking forward to the new developments.
- (2025-08-23) anne k.: Does what it says it does, which is already miles ahead of most extensions. Loading times between account switches is slower than LJ Juggler from what I can tell, but it's negligible. The icon uploader feature is especially useful as it shows you which icon is being uploaded at any time and what the keywords will look like; very pleasing if you're particular with ordering your icons. If there was a way to integrate DW/Tools' comment formatting feature and attach specific formatting per specific journal log-in it'd be perfect.
- (2025-08-20) Tori: Brilliant extension! It perfectly fills the gap left after LJ Account Juggler was discontinued, while also improving on it. The option to set display names for journals is a real game-changer, making it so much easier than trying to remember which account to use where. Highly recommended!
