My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.

Very, very cool. I can see how incorporating DTCG tokens into web studio would be incredibly powerful

Encouraging that that approach worked for you. Don’t forget to post your site when you get it back up!

Haha.

Okay now I feel like the plan is more solid: content + type decisions to start. That feels, dare I say, manageable.

Just have to avoid listening to the siren songs coming from yon' type foundries.

Thanks again for help.

"Don't overthink it." Oh I would never do that 😬

Thanks so much, Beau! This is really helpful.

I think between your and jamie's advice I've got a way to at least make a start.

Do you normally try to settle on typography early in the process or is it different each time?

Got you. This is really helpful. Thank you so much!

Thank you! Can I ask a bit about the more branded vs less branded distinction? Is the idea that the content will reveal which components/elements should come in for more explicit branding?

Been digging a bit more into different approaches this week.

You're probably already across it, but I like Astro's flexibility with remark and rehype plugins for working with markdown.

This project is a decent example:
