Dotcss - tweak the web (based on dotjs)
github.comStylish[1] exists on both chrome and firefox, on all OS's with no other requirements and a gallery of nearly 50,000 styles with support for variables.
I don't really see how something limited to a single OS/Browser combo is particularly useful by comparison.
I think the advantage lies in being able to use your own editor as opposed to the clunky in-browser editor in stylish or tedious copy/pasting between each iteration. I'd much rather work with this when developing new styles.
Agreed, or userscripts.
I know it's Google's fault, and not the author's, but creating an environment where users need to run a web server to access local files strikes me as extremely stupid. I can't imagine a situation where this is more secure than a proper API could be, and I can imagine several situations where it isn't (e.g., if the server has a security vulnerability, or more trivially, if there are multiple users on the same machine and the data is private).
