# A Message on the Future of this Application.
*To anyone who finds this useful.*
*I've recently taken on a new job, and, due to the demands of a full-time developer job, I will no longer be able to maintain this project. I've had a lot of fun with it, but continuing it for the future is simply unfeasible.*
*With that said, this application is fully open-source, and anyone is available to freely use it, modify it, or maintain their own copy. The only thing I require is that the copyright and license is preserved. I hope that you find this useful.*
*May God bless you all,*
