Just had my first open-source-PR-gets-merged-after-being-open-for-nearly-a-year experience - pretty stoked!

Got round to migrating two @glitch.com projects (RIP)
The frontend-only one was easy, just popped on GitHub pages: pjpscriv.com/cyber-canada
The one with a backend was a bit harder, but Cloud Run did the trick - and made it easy to give it a nice subdomain: emoji.pjpscriv.com ✨
