Weeknotes 2022-04-04
,Applied for Prototype Fund with django-cast, I would love to be able to improve documentation and usabiltiy. Finished a command line client for syncing kptncook recipes with my self-hosted mealie instance. Revisited my old "will_it_saturate" project to compare caddy vs uvicorn speed. Good fun.

- I think the 1420 YouTube channel will make for a nice historical reference a few years from now | Really cool youtube channel.
