very useful application!

.Very useful tool, please add a play button right on the output page and it will be a 5 star tool. Alternatively, you can also add some ads on the output page that will make you something out of it, just a suggestion to the fellow developer.

It is very amazing and works, it is free and no ads (if you can put ads in extensions idk)
