  Definately a 5 Star addon!
  So far, it works perfectly in 3.4!

  I hope this addon gets support till blender may someday decide this should be a build feature.

  If you store your assets in single files to be used in Blenders Asset Browser, this is perfect. It creates a tiny file for each export.
  The export UI has options to "Mark as Asset" in the created file, to "Backlink" so you already have your asset replaced with an instance and if you haven't already done so in your file, to "Export as Collection".
  I get that some people prefer to store lots of assets in one file (like Fran). But in my opinion that is in general not a good idea. You want those files/assets to be sortable in a file system for later/different purposes and most of all, quick to work with for eventual changes.

  I get it that it's available for free and I'm grateful; however, it crashes Blender for me (3.2.1) on export in complex scenes. Works well enough on simple ones though. I hope that with further development it becomes more robust since that it would make it a must have.

  Very limited useability. It needs to be able to save/append meshes to an existing blend file without overwriting. Backlink is most useful feature, but for creating asset library you are better off elsewhere.

  export selected to blend includes unselected assets marked as fake-user, visible in the new .blend under Outliner>displaymode>Blender File.
  it, in testing, did not export the selected assets to a clean/fresh .blend, included stray data that would then need to be cleaned from the new .blend.
  please, add an option to only include select objects and their dependencies
  example: object, mesh, texture, material, exclude fake users etc.
  for me this was unfunctional, I'd recommend testing before buying, used in blender version 4.5.1
