about

this was built so I could learn about react and fulfill a promise I made many moons ago. it's buit on react (obviously) and uses Bulma, EmailJS, Elastic Email, React Router, and create-react-app. It's hosted on Netlify and I bought the domain on Namecheap because they're pretty okay at selling me domains.

this was my first unguided shot at building a react app and i think i did kinda okay. don't roast me too hard though thanks.

contributing in other ways
