Why isn't JSONL-Viewer source available publicly on github?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am able to view the source code for this plugin by navigating to my extensions folder after an install, and can fix bugs in it, but I have no way of referencing a given github branch/tag/release this way (AFAIK).

Describe the solution you'd like
It appears this used to be on github, given that the plugin readme has a screenshot link to [https://github.com/thedangander/JSONL-Viewer/raw/HEAD/assets/screenshot.png]. Please make it publicly available. It would help with forking, fixing bugs, and issuing PRs, and tethering issues directly to the repo.

Firstly, thank you for showing this kind of interest - knowing people find this useful enough to bother commenting on it at all is amazing.

It's never actually been open sourced - the image link in the marketplace readme was me trying to get things working and failing!

The simple answer to why it's not in a public repo at the moment is because the early code quality was pretty poor, and I wasn't happy making it public until I cleaned that up enough to make life easier for willing contributors. Originally, this extension was just a rough-and-ready tool I built to solve a specific problem while exploring extension building - I never intended to publish it at all!

I do intend to make it public later this year though - the code is in a much better state now, I just need to find time to tidy up a couple of other bits, make some areas easier to maintain safely, and get some much needed test coverage in there.

I'll leave this issue open so I can post updates.

Thanks again 😊
