Hi,
still looking forward to your comments :). At the beginning of next week 
I will probably attempt to
create some tickets related to these improvements so it would be nice to 
know which of my thoughts
are worth implementing and which are not (also I am very receptive for 
your own ideas).

Kind regards,
Sebastian Kostuch
