Hey I'm a long term emacs/org mode user. This look super interesting, one quick suggestion, even though I'm confident I can make the installation instructions work, a lot of people just install packages from melpa, i.e. list-packages, cntl-s to find in melpa and then install. I know there's a lot of advantages to some other methods, but people pick and choose where they want to learn the new way or stick with old tried and true way. Again at first glance it looks super interesting.

Thank you for your appreciation and suggestions. I’m not quite sure how to publish it to MELPA, but I’ll figure it out as soon as possible.
It's very normal for a package to remain in its "nursery" for a while. There are various ways to install packages directly from GitHub and other forges.

Publishing to MELPA although is a fairly simple process, it does require certain steps and of course the vetting and approval. Often it takes long time. Sometimes (for various reasons) authors may decide not publish at all.
