I like the concept. However, as intuitive and interesting as this plugin is, I see far too many words and descriptions explaining things. It’s hard for someone to understand what your plugin can do.

This is a prime example. Not sure anyone would read through all that.

It seems you used ChatGPT to summarize your plugin into a big essay hehe.

Not trying to get on your case, just trying to help you get your point across!
