 * Hi, great plugin initiative 😀

    ———————————————–
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in <server-path>/wp-content/plugins/

 * Hi Niels and thanks for reporting this issue.
    I have fixed the error now and
   it will be available in the upcoming release of the plugin.
 * **The reason to the error**: I was using a short open tag there which I do by
   old habit, some PHP installations does not allow these short open tags by default.
 * **You can fix this yourself by allowing the use of short open tags**: To use 
   short open tags, it must be enabled in your PHP.INI. Search for short_open_tag
   in PHP.INI, and change the value to On. The line should look line:
 * `short_open_tag = On`
