I does not work on latest WP and PHP 8.2. Added the todo list but didn’t show on the post

Things I Wish: I could use markdown to insert a checkbox, I should be able to type [] followed by a spacebar for example to insert or maybe [ ] followed by a spacebar I could double tap enter to exit the block (instead of just keep creating new checkboxes) Things I Like: Read only option No lag Light in plugin size
