Without any consent of the user !
Atleast there should be a note in the website that they are storing the extension.

Right, check this

i know that component.json but it returns in a json format here you can directly share link or copy and paste it

#9

also not just the ai2 compiler but also appybuilder does that

Does AppyBuilder Code Editor use something different than AI2 source? :roll_eyes:

#11

What people are saying, is you’re still just using the AIX files to determine the documentation, but I think this is supposed to be a tool to make it easier. I mean, who would make a whole site providing the user documentation (I totally wouldn’t)?

true but still what is your extension is too big then making documentation would also be tough for that you can use this website

#17

I mean it took me only 30 days to create documentation for an extension with a fairly large amount of blocks and feasible design. But yes, this will benefit many who don’t want to put much work into it.
