This is why I hardly visit this place and will never post a personal project or anything I'm working on. Because people will just complain about it if it costs money, or smugly brag that they could have created the same thing in a weekend. Regardless, this looks like a very cool plugin and I look forward to playing around with the lite version. Thanks for sharing.

Every time I see a project that's paid where people comment "I could create the same in a weekend", that's exactly what I do. By now most of the apps I'm using daily are written by me. It's (a) fun, and (b) gives me the satisfaction not to pay for something that's not worth it. For open-core projects, I usually just fork and rebuild all the paid features ontop of the free version. That's actually surprisingly easy most of the time.

(Obviously I then release everything I create under GPL, so others can use it freely and expand on it)
