This is awesome!
Thanks, so glad you find it helpful!
Thank you so much for the tip! I almost have a massive V2 functionality update...
@EnragedAntelope How can it get better? Can't wait. Thanks for your contributions to the community.
@Suppressor Thanks so much! Check it out, available now. TONS of options, totally flexible!
@EnragedAntelope Wow, the newer version is way more flexible. Really appreciate the work you are doing, thank you.
on windows you need to make a venv
python -m venv venv
then activate venv
then install requirements
Thank you. Yes this is a good practice for sure!
For those unfamiliar with python, activating venv is done 'venv\Scripts\activate' once you've done the 'python -m venv venv' command.
