Hi,
I have made a TODO list of what needs to be done to take this
extension to the next level & get it deployment ready, will keep updating
my user page as I progress. My ongoing exams have made the progress slow, I
will be back in swing once its completed at the end of this month.
Thanks!
- Akshay
