I thought about this - but sad conclusion after PME is that every addon some day will be abandoned and its a risky way to base on such workflow changer as PME (or Serpens ). I’d change monetization model - every major update should be paid otherwise time consuming maintenance some day will be demotivating for dev. ( i don’t know if it’s roaoao’s case though but perpetual license for 12$ sounds like non-profit volunteering )

PME helped me to switch from Maya/Max to Blender. Now if I only can write some script I do it in first place - after that I look for addons ( even if i find some i watch how it works and think if i can do it’s functionality in Geometry Nodes or simple script ) but it’s a long way ahead ( but interesting also )
