I'm so pissed that this extension is not up anymore. It's really good, and have been my go-to productivity app for the last 6 years. I've switched temporarily to Brave browser until this extension comes back. Hope the devs get enough support to make the changes required, if there's Patreon page to support, do lmk. All the best.
