Hello all, wanted to share something I have been working on recently as a side project. My workplace uses Gmail, and over the last few years I have been sending unformatted, honestly, disgusting looking code to other teammates and coworkers on different projects where it was needed for quick snippets or full code blocks. I found it very frustrating that Gmail does not natively support a feature like this. I looked on the Chrome Webstore to see if there were any extensions like this out there - and there was only a few, but nothing like I hoped to use. I also use Teams on a day to day basis working with other companies and love how they have done their code blocks so I decided to build my own.
It is easy to use, has a free tier for basic languages and formatting with higher tiers that support more languages and better formatting/style options if desired. I am actively working on developing this out further and if the demand is there for it would absolutely support this project further already thinking of different things I can add (outlook support, more languages, custom theme picker, etc.)
Overall, it has been quite a project and more importantly, something I can use day to day to solve a pain point in my experience using Gmail. Hope all of you can check it out, and support if you feel it is right!

TLDR: I built a chrome extension that takes unformatted, not-stylized, ugly looking code and inserts a neat formatted and styled code block into Gmail.
