I accidentally created a new boring obligation having to log these things here instead of just spending the typing time doing more of the work, but I’m happy to talk about how it’s going with anyone who’s curious.

now I'm prompt engineering my ass off

Just shipped 2.3! Almost at the truly fun part.

3.0 is when I ship my first version without Tina.io in it, and let me tell you, as amazing as that software is — as much as it helped me plan this entire site in a way that can be maintained as a static site forever — I am so excited to do that. There will be no hosted dependencies, no libraries dependent on other libraries, I might even be able to *gasp* update Astro at some point!

Unwinding the edge problems of the CSS refactor took much of the day, but you know how it goes: It’s better than it was before. I still haven’t pushed, and I’m paring back the versioning in light of various realities. This work is 2.3, and I still have to standardize controls and cards and pave the way for loading images before that’s done. 2.4 will be making common form elements and formalizing the one-offs. 2.5 is the first addition of a new collection that doesn’t require breaking anything.
