Almost perfect, but you need to be able to decrease the size to 1px
September 14th, 2023
Works perfectly, Zero complaints, The size is stuck at 25*25 and it messes with my responsiveness , it can be fixed by putting it in a 1x1 group, but thats not good
Hello, We’re very glad to know that the plugin was a great fit for you! We appreciate your feedback on the size issue, and we have made some changes to address it. Now, the plugin will start with a 1x1 px size by default, which should make it easier for you to adjust it to your app. If you need any more help or information, you can always send a message our way directly through our e-mail [email protected]. Thanks again, Rapid Dev Support Team

Works Perfectly

Do it's job ! Thanks
Super easy to use & worked like a charm

Thank you for making this! NOTE: For those who didn't realize this because the documentation doesn't give much: *The "Detect" element must be on the page and visible for the trigger to work (as of V.1.0.0)* I prefer this behavior, but it's not obvious, so some might think it's not working properly because they hid the element or placed it inside another element (like a popup or floating group) that isn't visible on the page. Just keep in mind that the Detect element doesn't do anything if it's hidden.
