1. 01

   Limited language support beyond JavaScript

   The tool is primarily designed for use with JavaScript, and while there may be community efforts to support other languages, these are not officially maintained.

2. 02

   Lack of comprehensive documentation

   The official repository lacks detailed usage examples and explanations, making it difficult for new users to understand how to integrate the tool into their projects effectively.

3. 03

   Small community and limited support

   Given that this is an open-source project with a small contributor base, there may be delays in addressing issues or adding new features requested by users.
