@ottsch any interest in updating this for the new official Roam plugin marketplace? If not would you be comfortable passing the reins to me or someone in the Roam community to keep it updated?

@8bitgentleman of course, go ahead!

Full disclosure @ottsch there is the potential for some proceeds from Roam for those who update and maintain plugins on the marketplace. Want to make sure you're aware of that and still OK with passing it on

@8bitgentleman Yep, that's fine with me
