Glad to hear it. If you have any questions at all reach out to me anytime. I've been the package maintainer for some time. While I am not the founder I handle most of the day to day coding and project management and am in close contact with the original founder who is still a contributor and active participant but not as active as myself these days. So I try to handle any of the day to day issues that come up. Always happy to answer any questions if you need anything.
