Hello, world!
This is actually the first "app" I've used my ATProto login for, outside of BlueSky.

Haven't made any React apps from scratch in a while - npm create vite@latest is really lovely!

“How can people who claim to be for _____ support _____?”

Well, you see, you are talking about dishonest people who do not believe in anything

Similarly:

1. It would be VERY fun to build my own version of Anki (spaced repetition flashcards)

2. Building my own Anki will not get me closer to my goal of learning Japanese. My time is likely 10X better spent IN Anki

Two somewhat contradictory beliefs I hold:

1. You should absolutely overengineer your personal homepage/blog/projects. Experiment with as many things as you can as quickly as possible.

2. If you _really_ wanted to write that blog post, you'd figure it out with a .txt file. Don't overcomplicate it.
