> The project is retired, my main reasons are:
>
> - I no longer use WordPress and develop plugins for it
> - I now agree with the idea that GitHub's readme and WordPress readme serve different purpose and should therefore be different
> - I see an effort from WordPress to prevent some features of this tool from working (screenshot detection)
