It looks like we made a :gem: from SweetAlert2 :rocket: :1st_place_medal: :tada:

Congratulations to all collaborators and contributors! :beers:

I would like to thank these brilliant minds for the significant help on this project:

• @zenflow
• @toverux
• @acupajoe
• @samturrell
• @birjolaxew
• @patrickhlauke

And I would like to thank @github for giving me the possibility to co-work with all of you! <3

My girlfriend is saying that I'm spending too much time on this project and don't get any comparable to my hourly rate money. My answer is:

We are here not just to pay our bills, but to _make a difference_.

And we _are_ making difference by delivering one of the best libraries in the world for JS popups and we're improving it almost every day.

I don't have enough skills to make such an awesome plugin which is used in thousands of real successful projects. It's because of you guys, SweetAlert2 is so sweet and there are so many positive comments in my yesterday's post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/7x0dpk/sweetalert2_a_beautiful_responsive_highly/

Because of upcoming 1,000,000 downloads (tomorrow), I made a simple tool for quickly checking the total number of npm downloads: https://limonte.github.io/total-npm-downloads/?package=sweetalert2

And we did it again!, SweetAlert2 is in the top (currently, the 3rd most popular) of trending JS repositories on GitHub:

Have a pleasant day guys and rock-n-roll!

Congratulations! Been using it for a while now and really love it. Makes some websites so much cleaner.

Congrats. And, just like last time: your little gift was appreciated, but absolutely not necessary (particularly as i've been very inactive here for ages)
