Something that interested me this week

I worked a bunch on one of my side projects this past week! I haven’t made the work/code public yet so there’s not much to show, BUT I had a lot of fun playing around with Prismic to generate pages and components, and built some utilities that I’ll probably blog about at some point.

I’m really excited to code on my side projects again. They’ve been sorely neglected as I’ve been a bit burnt out in the pandemic (that ol’ thing), and I’ve slowly but surely been getting back into them!
