Bailey's Retrospective

Writings about anything. Sometimes hardware, sometimes web development, sometimes personal. Usually, everything is a retrospective on something. The week, a project, or something I learned.

May 2025's Recap

It has been a pretty busy month! Well, closer to 2 months truly since my last set of blog posts were at the start of April. I usually focus on one topic in a blog post, but I've been a bit all over the place this month, so I thought a recap of what open source work I've been doing would be fun.
