✨ **Update: Prettier-powered autoformatting is now available to folks to test.** ✨

1. Open your browser console
2. `localStorage.tryPrettier = true`
3. Evaluate cells with Shift-Enter or by clicking the ▶ button, and they’ll be formatted.

Let us know what you think, and if you run into any issues using this beta feature! you can turn it off again by running `localStorage.removeItem('tryPrettier')`.
