I'm not sure where to begin honestly, but for now I'm just making individual components for things like buttons, inputs, etc, based in the designs and then I'll begin building other parts I guess. 🤷

What a good chill game. Traveling around, fishing, gathering, feeling some feels, this is really what I needed to relax at the end of a day. If anyone's looking for a cozy game, this is a good one.

I have to say the CLI for Astro is absolutely fantastic and I have never had such a smoother experience getting everything set up.
I've also been messing around with Tailwind and really trying to make things look "pretty", and while I didn't like Tailwind initially, I think once I understood it more I have grown to like it.
All in all it's been a pretty successful and fun project so far with a lot of learning. I look forward to sharing it with the community it's for and to get their thoughts, but I need to polish a few more things.

Everything is working correctly. I mostly wanted to play with Astro and islands, which has been fun, and now I'm just trying to make things look pretty.

We got a sump, just in case because we didn't have one, but what really fixed it was getting some gutter extensions and moving it away from the house.
For now I got a couple of the tubes from home depot. They click together too so you can get it a fair distance away. One of my projects this summer is to dig some holes and put some pipe into a dry well for each gutter and have the gutter drain that way, but for now this is a cheap easy way to fix it. Give it a shot, it's dirt cheap to try.

You know the feeling when you come across a beautiful website, and you just kind of appreciate how nice it is? The font, the spacing, the color palette choice. A good site can stop me and make me dig through the dev console to see what's going on. I'd like to get there eventually. Do you think Refactoring UI is a book that can start me on that journey?

Does anyone have any good resources, books or otherwise, in regards do good design for web dev? I'm a self taught full stack dev who just can't really make things look "pretty". They are functional, but..that's about it. I know CSS, but maybe I just don't have an eye for it?
Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

I never thought of changing the intervals either.

Hey everyone!
Do you have any experience with time blocking? Do you use any apps to help or do you do it all manually in your calendar? I recently watched a video I found on Tildes by Answer in Progress (https://youtu.be/vYaNiC4kchg?si=zh02N4bStqAhBBAe) about attention span. I have heard a lot about time blocking in the past, but always thought I never really needed it.
However, recently I've been starting to realize maybe I'm not doing well mentally..days can slip by on YouTube, or a video game, and the things I wanted to get done get pushed back to the next day..and the next day, and so on..or things I was passionate about, things I want to succeed in that I am good at..just sort of slip away, and I stop doing them and lose my drive. So maybe I need to block time to get it done... I'm not sure. So I guess I can try Meditation and time blocking..
Anyway, anyone have some suggestions if they do this? Have you found that it helped?

Do you have any suggested learning material?
I'm having such an annoyance using Nuxt. I love Vue and am building a fullstack app for my portfolio, however, I'm having some real problems with the auto imports not working. Like I'm trying to use defineNuxtRouteMiddleware in the Nuxt server middleware and it just keeps coming in as undefined. If I try importing it normally, it yells at me, if I don't the app crashes because it's undefined. Has anyone else fought with this?
