Awesome tool, good to know how this supports Durable Functions.

[@JonathanCrossland]

The code is just soo crap. Who hasnt built a finite state machine or workflow engine.. Why depend on 3rd party?
200 lines of Abstraction for two lines of code benefit.

The voice is not clear and English is quite poor, regrettably.

[@TheActivel]

Very clear and good english. An effective english speaker should understand more difficult accents than this one.

[@rishenwuwu901]
