    Thanks, this sounds like a great project! Also, glad dbzer0 was your choice of a community :)

    Is there an rogue date where you’ll release it to be open source?

    Also, seeing you mentioned ad-free, i’m curious about this.

      i meant annoying ad free as in no redirect or popup ads - we still need a way to fund the project since donations are scarce

        Thanks again for this great project!
