• [x] He is also decided to do an experiment with crowdfunding some of his work he can do for Heaps community, hence he created a ko-fi page. First set of goals is basically api docs and manual, since it's the most lacking part. But if it'll work out, he can also start delving into implementing new features, do bugfixes and other things that community would need.
