the webdev tool presses on. i've enlisted the help of a friend who is graciously providing all of the same steps they took to set up a small and fast web application. i have some super ugly UI and am barely managing to fit together the web stack i want, but it's starting to work. there are a lot of missing pieces before i even get around to making it look or feel nice, but the platform is super important if i want to continue making tools like this in the future!
