Great!  I wasn't looking for anything real in-depth.

While those do raise red flags, I don't think they're show stoppers
because they're fairly easily remedied.

These two are more interesting.  Could you write a sentence or two about
each one explaining what you mean?  For example, by "unstable" do you mean
that it crashes often or that the API changes daily...?

I poked around briefly on their website.  I had never heard of the project
before but it does look interesting.  What in particular should we look
at?
