  • Exceptional developer and unmatched support!

    I requested Telegram integration, and the developer updated the plugin to version 1.2.0 (and even 1.3.0!) in just a few hours. This level of dedication is rare. The plugin is lightweight and has a beautiful, clean interface. While it is still a young project with room to grow, the developer's responsiveness makes it highly promising. Definitely worth supporting!
