AssetStoryBuddy (GreaseMonkey script)

An article by mgear Comments

Finally started small helper script for asset store, because the website is not exactly user friendly and missing many features..
Note. This is first version, quite limited still but has potential 🙂

Features:
– Sorts search results by price! (free ones first)
– Keeps previous search string in the search input field!

Usage:
– Go to asset store page
– Search something
– Press F5 after search results, wait couple seconds, items get arranged by price!

TODO:
– Needs some way to detect when page(ajax) has finished loading, then can sort. Current version just waits few seconds with TimeOut..
