Clip To Discourse Chrome Extension - now with User API capability!

A significant usability update: Clip To Discourse now supports the Discourse User API.

This means ordinary Discourse users no longer need an administrator to manually create an API key for them. Enter your Discourse URL, click Authorize Clip To Discourse, sign in, enter the displayed device code if requested, and approve access.

The site still needs User API keys to be enabled site-wide (enabled scopes: read and write, and a Group your user is a member of must be permitted to use the User API, but once that is configured the onboarding experience is dramatically simpler for non-admin users.

Administrator-provided, user-scoped API keys remain available as a fallback for sites where User API authorisation is unavailable.
