    Hi all, thank you for the pings. We see the demand for this!

    To be transparent about our current roadmap: because we have no active sponsors at this time, our ability to dedicate deep-dive hours to complex issues is limited. We love building this tool, but we have to balance it with our other professional commitments.

    How you can help:

    • Sponsorship: Even small monthly contributions via GitHub Sponsors help us sustain the project long-term.

    • Code: If anyone has the capacity to draft a fix, we’d love to prioritize a code review for it.

    Thank you for your continued support and for helping us keep this project alive!
