📌 Project Status

Mob Melody and its browser extension were originally created for my personal use. I may fix bugs or add new features whenever I feel the need to, but I am not actively developing or maintaining this project.

If anyone is interested in adopting the project, feel free to fork it, improve it, and maintain the idea. I’d be happy to see someone take it further!
