If you want to test it with your group, send me a DM on Bluesky and Iโll send you a free copy.
I think this is exactly what I need right now. Adding to my to-buy list!

Kinda broke my foot a bit though.
Well, I managed to do the most me thing ever today. Fell down some stairs and sprained my ankle because I was excited about seeing a dog.
