Having some examples to follow for the more advanced bits (see <em>My first blog post using TipTap editor!</em> [sheepish laugh]) will be helpful.</p><p>And, inshallah, that will be just the beginning.</p><p><s>The</s> A self-taught junior dev of <s>our</s> a generation,</p><p>Riley</p><p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I’m gonna try doing comments on posts, using TipTap, on my own next.</p><p><strong>EDIT 2:</strong> Other TODOs include…</p><p>- update my about page ahaha<br>- add in some icons for buttons and shit<br>- implement rich-text comments on blog posts<br>- fix lists not displaying in blog posts<br>- maybe change the font (for blog posts at least) bub</p><p></p>
