Fantastic. Thanks for doing this.

I see, fair enough. I haven't looked at the internals myself.

Interesting that you use a different async method.

Brilliant! I can't wait.

I know Bastien has found himself unfortunately busy as of late (which I
think is why he's looking to have someone else take over as project

All the best,
