I've been sick so my personal/appearance care has been kind of near 0 and I've got like a 50% beard on the rest of my face now - every time it gets to this point I am like "should I try a full on beard, I'm halfway there".

I somehow missed that the @scottjehl Kickstarter for Web Components launched a few days ago: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/scott-jehl/web-components-demystified

Surely will be an amazing resource for folks looking to learn more about Web Components! (… and a great use of your employer-sponsored education stipend if you’ve got one!)

@scottjehl of course Scott!! 🙌

@zachleat switching a side project to 11ty and holy smokes is it significantly better to make a site than the last time I started from scratch.

@fonts Awesome!! I’m curious what your pain points were before but I’m glad to hear they are improved!

Planning on doing a full Organizer retrospective blog post, but in the interest of transparency here’s a peek at the conference budget (funded primarily by our Open Collective, prices in USD):

Expenses: $7574.20
Revenue: $4653.79 (Free event, but via sponsors and merch)
Profit: -$2920.41

Edit: Fixed a spreadsheet error 😬
