[HelloooJoe]

@Eilon Can you consider inviting other developers help maintain this repo that have contributed already? It seems like you're not giving this repo enough attention.

@Eilon Can you consider inviting other developers help maintain this repo that have contributed already? It seems like you're not giving this repo enough attention.

I've been working on the official version here: #70

So for that reason my time hasn't been as focused here. Having said that, I'm certainly willing to work with people on features, fixes, and PRs within this repo for features that are good candidates to be in the official version.

Congratulations on being officially included. Please keep in mind the issue reported in this thread, and if nothing else, please don't break this method without providing us an alternative.

Thanks again.
