User reviews
Would love to see minimum size as well.
Even cooler would be able to run a file when download completes. Would be wonderful to be able to run a script and have it send a Gotify msg for example.
didn't work for google word pronunciation.
I wish i could make/pick my own sound files for each status. Otherwise, it's fun to make it say funny stuff.
