Information about this Release:

I originally intended that the very first release would be on 31.October.2021, however I need a bit more time to finish the documentation required for this application. In the meantime, I can go ahead and still push for a release - but as a beta quality build. As such, and a much needed added bonus, allows anyone to test the application as well as provide feedback. So please do share your feedback and I hope this tool meets up to your expectations! 😃
