I was about to make a pull request to expand the list to the top 109 websites, but the developer blocked me from all interactions because I "spammed too many issues" (I opened 5 and they were all legitimate). Buggy software gets multiple bug reports, what a surprise... The software (or at least the idea) has a lot of potential, but a lot of work and care needs to be put into it.

Only two of your five issues were bug reports, one of which was not really useful - various android makes have their own optimizations that can kill the app in the background, there's very little devs can do to stop this.
