Really grateful to everyone using it, contributing, and giving feedback. It’s been amazing seeing the project reach more and more people. 

I’ll be taking a break for a bit. 

If you’ve found the tool useful, feel free to share it with someone who might find it helpful too.

The project has grown quite a bit, and keeping things moving while maintaining high code quality takes time. I also have a few other commitments and ideas I’m excited to explore.
