Avocado IC Sharing Companion

Boost Star Citizen Issue Council collaboration with easy sharing of insights and markdown readiness for Spectrum chat.

The Avocado IC Sharing Companion enhances the collaborative testing process within Star Citizen's Issue Council. Tailored for elite Avocado testers but invaluable for all, this extension facilitates the effortless sharing of issue details. Testers can swiftly capture, copy, and share. With "Quick Share" for brief highlights and "Advanced Share" for in-depth details, it simplifies the distribution of information into Spectrum chats, improving communication and collaboration. Note: When an image link tag is selected and an image is found and scrapped, the link will be positioned at the beginning of shared content, enabling Spectrum to display a miniature image taken from the report rather than the standard Issue Council sign-in window embed taken from the IC link. After pasting into Spectrum, simply delete the image link, leaving the remaining content below the link unchanged. This streamlined process allows you to effectively illustrate your issues using images without retaining links to media as part of the chat messages.
