Love this! I use to do similar things with refactoring week, deleting unused code challenge, etc. It is so easy to keep adding new code, it's awesome that you're being intentional about tending to existing code and improving things! good luck!

Hi Marie! Didn't know this existed, thanks for the link :)

I am an experienced developer turned fulltime solo maker. I am working on two different web apps (having to to do habits and books). I am teaching myself design/UI/UX. I would love to get feedback on the things I create from experienced UI/UX designers. (i.e. you can tell me exactly why does my UI hurt your eyes :) )

I enjoyed your post, thanks for sharing! I really like tracking stuff and numbers as well!

Had a great chat with Amy and Lakshmi! Thank you for joining, yay! I'll plan to host more and meet more of you!
