Forwarded to list because my client did a dumb.
Hello!
I actually found this quite nifty and appreciate you creating it. I have no idea how often I'll actually use it, but your aur package has my vote.

Ah, I forgot the fourth point: I had fun writing it.
Don't forget that the "I had an idea for a fun toy project" is what
starts/drives most of our OSS ecosystem, including the start of Linux
itself :)
