[WebExtension] Draw your GitHub comment.

A browser extension (Chrome and Firefox) that adds a drawing canvas overlay to GitHub's comment box, letting you sketch directly into a PR or issue comment instead of typing. It's for developers who want to annotate screenshots or sketch out a quick diagram without leaving GitHub.

Does one small thing and does it inline where you actually need it — no separate app, no screenshot-then-upload workflow. The injection approach (inject.js hooking into GitHub's comment textarea) is a clean way to extend a page you don't control. Small footprint: just a handful of JS/CSS files, easy to read in one sitting if you want to fork it.

Last pushed November 2019 — GitHub has redesigned its comment UI and PR interface multiple times since then, so it's likely broken against the current DOM without someone patching the selectors. No tests, no CI config visible, so there's no way to tell if it still works short of installing it. Manifest is presumably v2 given the age, which Chrome has deprecated — it may not even load in current Chrome without a rewrite to manifest v3. Single-maintainer project with no recent commits or issues activity, so don't expect fixes if it's stale.
