Note

This tool is currently in development. Any issues can be reported using the Issues tab.

Also, I'm not a developer, I'm just enjoying learning more about scripting/programming and learning as I go.

Please also understand that I prefer to develop and work on these projects independently.
I do value other people's insights and appreciate any feedback, but don't take it personally if a pull request is not accepted.
