希望alex (ID: 0000006ec944d0e5) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/04/2018 IT WORKS! The best so far. The others are pretty much useless, this one works out of the box. UPDATE: It simply doesn't work every time. For some reason it doesn't catch some posts, which makes it useless. Too bad, I liked the design and the concept. I wish I could contact the dev to make him aware of the kind of text that goes through.
