- Hi. -

Thank you so much for making it this far. Really.

-

- took a while to exist. -
- This started as a{" "} - - CS50W - {" "} - capstone—one I kept postponing until I ran out of excuses. - When I sat down to build it, it felt heavier than a typical - assignment—not just because things were difficult. It had to - be something that outlasted the grade. I wanted to make this one - count more than anything else I'd ever made. Something as close to - perfect as I could get it. Something to be remembered for—a - Swan Song if you will. -

-

So, I gave it all I've got.

-

- Of course, frustrations, id-exisi crises, crept in from time to - time. But helped me re-kindle the love for - the odd hours spent obsessing over the tiniest UX decisions and - endlessly polishing the UI{" "} - - (only if I could've just made my mind up on one design system - sooner, instead of paddling in a sea of muses, muses everywhere) - - .

+ Hi. +

Thank you so much for making it this far. Really.

+

+ took a while to exist. +
+ This started as a{" "} + + CS50W + {" "} + capstone—one I kept postponing until I ran out of excuses. + When I sat down to build it, it felt heavier than a typical + assignment—not just because things were difficult. It had to + be something that outlasted the grade. I wanted to make this one + count more than anything else I'd ever made. Something as close to + perfect as I could get it. Something to be remembered for—a + Swan Song if you will. +

+

So, I gave it all I've got.

+
