| Thanks thomaspttn :) I built it to streamline the process of

| Cool. Do you plan to monetize it somehow?
| fadymak wrote:
| Thanks! Right now there is a paid option ($19 / year) where

| more templates and features.
|
| I also plan on exposing an API which will likely be paid.

| Seems to be much faster now!

| Pretty unfortunate timing

| Hey adonese! I'm definitely planning on exposing an API in the

| Right now Firefox for Android does not support Intl.Segmenter

| Sorry about that. I was weighing the pro/con of waiting for
| support to be released or adding a polyfill but it seems that
| support is just around the corner from what I can tell from the
| issue.

| Looks like a very good API, glad to have learned about it!
