so you're asking for $50 for a fork of a free app, on the premise that you're "going to" add to it

I have already rebuilt the UI to be fully responsive (great for tiling window managers), added new features, improved the history, fixed hotkey handling for Wayland and many other things. I'm a solopreneur, and if I want my business to survive I need this endeavor to be sustainable

People who run tiny side businesses understand this is the only way to go. Yes I could have started from scratch, but what's the point.

If you look at Handy's website, you'll see that the author encourages forks anyway.

I'm also offering support for my customers and will build what they want. It's a different game.
