[Playground] Getting contents from the cloud?
Hi all, There is a button to publish the contents of the playground to the cloud but there isn't a button to get the contents from the cloud? Is that on purpose? i don't get it. -- Bernardo E.C. Sent from a cheap desktop computer in South America.

Not at all. We are terrible at documenting all our amazing features. How would one guess that besides the fact that Spotter can do everything but open your beer bottle? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Playground-Getting-contents-from-the-cloud-tp4845720p4...

I found it when exploring spotter extension methods... The problem is that we want to strike a balance between "no information" and "information overload", which is quite hard, because everyone has different preferences and features are added and removed almost daily to at least one of tools you use. So here easy discoverability is in my eyes more important than documentation. E.g. opening inspector on all spotter methods is even easier than googling a website where the documentation/list of features may or may not be. Plus this doesn't impose extra cost on the developer, as the source acts as documentation. Of course this doesn't always apply... Peter

Perhaps presenting an inform message "Paste link into Spotter" when the <publish to cloud> button is pressed would not be too intrusive? cheers -ben
