I am fond of reading juicy posts on Medium and giving out my best appreciation by clicking the 'clap' button the maximum number of times, that is 50 times to be exact. And guess what? I can now do it with this amazing app, with just one click and voila--50 times at once. Thanks so much to the awesome developer. Keep it up.
