Dear author, I'm a developer and wanted to let you know that I'm a big fan of your "Element Locator" Chrome extension. It's been incredibly useful for my web development workflow. I wanted to kindly ask if you would consider open sourcing the project on GitHub or another code hosting platform. It would allow developers like myself to learn from the source code and potentially contribute back. Open sourcing projects helps them gain more users, contributions, and often leads to faster improvement of the software. I think open sourcing Element Locator could really help it thrive even more as a tool for web developers around the world. Please let me know if you'd be open to making the project open source. I'd be happy to help in any way I can, whether it's assisting with documentation, bugs, or features. Thank you for creating such a fantastic extension! Best regards
