Exactly What We Needed – Simple, Effective, and Customisable

Simple, lightweight, and works flawlessly. We styled the shortlist, added a clear button, and integrated it into a form — all without issues.
Highly recommended — thanks for a great plugin!

Filled the use case I had and was easy to build on
by michaelw_dc·1 year ago
Works quite well, and was adaptable to my needs. My only wish was for a JS API so that I could manually trigger adds & removals. I perused the plugin’s scripts and figured out how I could do it myself, and put it in for a custom listing interface (a menu item button that shows the user’s saved resources on click, and with additional controls to remove saved resources via JS).
