Question: This package is still in development, so trying to figure out whether people want this package to continue development. So, here’s a poll:

Would you use this package? If enough yes answers, that’s a good sign we should continue

  • Yes
  • No

Awesome, thanks everyone for participating in the poll! Looks like 8 votes so far, and all are YES, so let’s do this thing.

Now that you want it to move forward, if you have a few minutes, try it out, give some feedback on what features you want, surface some bugs so we can squash them, etc.
