Thank you so much to everyone who already contributed!

I didn’t expect such a positive response and so many warm messages. A total of 115 supporters donated a combined $1,700, which will cover more than half a year of infrastructure costs! Your help will let me continue working on a project in a more healthy and sustainable manner.

I already have some scoring improvements in progress (that’s why the new thresholds are so low), and I’ll tell you about them in a few days.

Thank you again! ❤️
