####Downlaod responsibly and enjoy!!!
There are a lot of things on the roadmap and I'm not sure when I'll be able to work on this...
I'd generally like to refine the UX and give more feedback to the user.
In a future version the user will be able to moderate the download and discard the unwanted picture.
I want to manage pagination properly.
A log of what has been downloaded is welcome too! Isn't it?
###Don't hesitate to ask me anything or request features, I'm eager to know what you need!
