That feel when you develop something in private and you're about to release it as #opensource and you're not sure if your code is good enough and you're ashamed of some of your #Git commit messages.

@wokuno Where does time go?!?

My site is still a landing page.

That's because I haven't finished the custom static generator for it. Because of course I can't just use something off the shelf, oh my, no. #JustProgrammerThings

Thank you for the update. I look forward to more! 😀
