So, where is this addon going, exactly?
I get a lot of responses with very valid suggestions for different directions I could spin the wheel and advance the addon further, rest assured I am reading through the comments even though I rarely respond to them, but I want to put my own perspective out first just to clarify what I initially wanted with this addon.

The initial idea was to have something as simple as a drawn overlay giving suggestions on how to respond to a player (or NPC, although as you might imagine this is along a less prominent and more complicated path). Initially I didn't have any plans to allow a user to interact in any way, however I wanted to leave it as an optional thing, since I know, from past experience, that a lot of people are going to draw wilder conclusions than my own. This is why the "less constructive responses" aren't very surprising at all to me, however I will still deny them if they set the bar higher than that of my own.
This whole addon has been more or less a lua-learning-project for me, where I was hoping to learn a few things on the way since I generally do not code in Lua, although I do however code, dare I say, "fluently" in a couple of other languages that I can count on the other hand.

With that out of the way, this thread still has a question to answer: That depends.
I am of course very grateful for the overall positive response, and that we actually reached the top of the workshop with this project of mine. And knowing that, I'd be encouraged to continue working on it and pick up on some suggestions that have been left from you, as far as expanding is concerned. However, while I am offering this, I am also expecting a compensation in positive ratings. Since 1000 likes is among the goals I have set for myself, I am willing to consider the following as a proposition:
If you want me to keep developing on this, and make this addon *that* much more advanced, knowing that I can probably pull that off, *please* leave a like on this addon, as it encourages me to strive towards my goal of 1000.

As a quick TL:DR here: It's very simple. If you want me to continue development and work towards advancements that you've suggested, leave a like and thus let me know that you want that. In leaving a like, you are encouraging me to keep going with my initial learning-project, which I could otherwise halt completely and call a day on. It is your choice from hereon out, should you still have a thumb left to vote with, or a friend's thumb or so. In whichever case, I will be considering it.
