Release cadence

No release in a year

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    It just works out of the box. No frills, no thunder, it just does exactly what is should do. And responsive support to boot. Excellent work!

    In the Site Identity option, just go and make sure your 512×512 icon is maskable…..and voila.

    Looks like it is incompatible with the latest iOS/iPadOS 16.4, install the plugin, open the website at iPad Safari, then save to Home Screen, not working at all.
