Abstract

The Devilbox is currently being developed in my spare time and mostly reflects the features that I am using for all the web projcets I have to handle. In order to better present it to the majority of other software developers I do require support to cope with all the feature requests.

So first of all, If the Devilbox makes your life easier, star it on GitHub!
