    I can’t tell if this is actually a new project or if you forked, extended, and changed the license of an existing MPL 2.0 project. The latter would be a bad thing.

    You have a commit titled “Full rewrite!!” but I’m not about to go do a comparison to see how “full” it is. If it is indeed a complete clean reimplementation then I would recommend making it a new project so it doesn’t look like you took someone’s FOSS code and relicensed it for yourself.

      Full rewrites do happen. The first commit of PiKVM is a copy of my repo: https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/commit/70eebd5c59da26dc3f6ad56730adbb616055f4e5#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5R4. I was referenced there for a long time before eventually being removed, and I’m pretty sure by then my code had been fully rewritten.

      Though I did find it funny when LTT covered them and said they complained about a copycat who wasn’t giving them credit 😆

      This started as a fork but was fully rewritten from scratch. No code is used from the original repo, so I also chose to make the license more premissive.

      See this commit!

      You have some good points but if I made a new repo from scratch, it would break many links, including links in the add-on’s store page, the add-on itself and search engines. It would also kill every watcher/issue/PR etc so I don’t think it’s really a good idea.

      If you have a clean solution to solve this I’d love to hear it!

      What’s some specific elements of the UI you dislike and how would you improve it?

          UI on mobile is important as well!

          Right now some buttons are overflowing but it should still be mostly fine.

          For anyone wondering how it looks :

            I would put copy URL, preview and download in 1 line try make it more compact think it’s too big right now but the extension works great!

              True, that’s how it looks on PC, I haven’t managed to trick Material UI Web yet to display those in 1 line on mobile

        After looking it up, yes it’s a bit like IDM (Internet Download Manager) but has less features (like it’s not separating which files are audio, video… yet?), however it’s available on mobile as well so there’s that
