Our Commentary ​

Simon Willison is so good at just shipping things. A 1.0 release for a plugin might seem small, but it's a marker of stability and commitment. We appreciate the attention to detail, especially with something as finicky as cookie expiration. It's the little things that make a tool truly usable.
