Cons
Con Horrific project management!
There are no versioned source tarballs, no build documentation or build system, and the binaries seem to be built from a private repository as the source code does not reflect the changes.
Con Bad or absent browser and clipboard monitoring, bad interface, limited settings
Cannot get the download link by itself in most cases, and it needs the link to be entered manually (not even clipboard monitoring worked). Changing the theme can make it unusable, settings are very limited compared to concurrent programs.
Con Queue
Schedule does not work
