⚠️ Project Archived

After deep reflection, I have decided to focus my limited time and energy on my other projects. As a solo developer, I have struggled to actively maintain multiple projects with the care and attention they deserve. Without enough sponsors, it became unfeasible to maintain Palmr. If you are interested in continuing this work through a fork, I will be happy to add a link to it here in the README. We thank all the contributors and users who have supported Palmr over time!
