That looks a bit weird to me. How about instead using the last line to mention some more names than just mine? Something like “and more (x,y,z)”?

This is actually a character-saving exercise 🙂
If at the above rows I put `(@ByteHamster)` each time, that’s 75 characters. The current text is 45 or so characters.
Instead of your username we maybe can put `(idem)` – that’d allow us to remove the sentence. Would you like that better?

I think it’s better than the full sentence, yes 🙂 Generates less attention on the name than a full sentence

Well, to be frank, you do deserve all the attention with everything that you’re putting into it 🙂
But OK, post above adjusted 🙂
