Does not work? Submit an issue!

I highly encourage you contacting me if you feel it is "broken again" - it frustrates me too and I'd like to take the effort to fix the bugs on my side.

Even if it is not a bug but rather something to be clarified, I'm happy to answer questions (if I can), so if you have one, just submit an issue.
