+<!--
+Before opening an issue, just take into account that this is a completely free of charge open source project.
+I'm always happy to help and provide support, but some understanding will be required.
+I do this in my own free time, so expect some delays when implementing new features and fixing bugs, and don't take it personal if an issue gets eventually closed.
+Try to be polite, and understand it is impossible for a project to cover all use cases.
