Janac Meena (ID: 00000036ded7419e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/08/2023 So far so good. After using YAWAS and Weava - Sifter is a welcome new competitor. Update: May 08, 2023, been using this everyday and it works great. Weava still gives me technical issues, so I'm fully using Sifter now. Surprised that there isn't more downloads for Sifter!
