I installed the plugin, restarted VS, but nothing happens when I type:

/// convert string to byte array

and press tab afterwards.

Am I missing anything?

Edit: actually something does happen... it inserts a tab, just like any VS installation would do.

Edit 2: from browsing through the comments it seems like it might be a ReSharper conflict. They said they would update it though, but in 8~9 months nothing has changed apparently.

Have you tried to uninstall and install ReSharper? In the past when ReSharper has prevented other plugins from working, that has been my solution.

This seems like a really cool idea, but I'm not sure how useful it'd end up being. I also wasn't able to get it to actually work with anything other than the demo question they provided

Nice idea. Sort of changes ideas as to what an IDE can/should do.

I tried the web version, but it just says Loading. Do I need to install Silverlight?

Because we need to have more people using random copy-pasted code in their programs.

This is a great idea, but I can't get the website to work. I will try the IDE because this is actually pretty useful.

Unfortunately I don't write much C# (took a few courses that heavily used it) so it's going to be hard for me to really get an idea of what this feels like to have access to all the time (i.e. know if it's really useful). I'd really love to see what it feels like with a scripting language like Python or Javascript
