I'd be lost @polypane.app, one of my favourite development tools ✨
Can't wait til I finish some of these new features. They've been a while in the works. Especially excited about commands like this one that will help you understand your token graph better. And (eventually) make changes to consumers directly.
More and more people I deeply respect and have learned a lot from over the years feel like they are speaking into a void, to the point where they are losing motivation to continue making content, which got me to write my first post on my site in over a year... www.kevinpowell.co/article/tell...
