Konstantinos Sakkas (ID: 0000000401864cee) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/27/2023 Very nice plugin, and useful too. I reckon it needs a maintainer's attention though, since the latest PHP version it checks compatibility of is for 7.4.8, which as of this date (27/06/2023) is EOL, and not supported anymore. Perhaps it would be more useful to check for compatibility with more recent versions of PHP's , if not 8.2.

King World (ID: 000000be7aa44c8c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/21/2022 Very Poor. rubbish. They must tell how to use it. Nothing about very important plugins like bitwarden etc. No result found for most commonly used plugins. Very disappointing extension.
