When I started using the extension I was really impressed by its flexibility and the intuitive way it handles Liquid templates. You’ve clearly put a lot of effort into both the editor and the documentation. The DX is excellent and everything feels easy to use.

Also, I really appreciate your quick responses and support whenever we needed adjustments. Thanks a ton for your great work!
