Highlights

Closing thoughts, over the last month I have written or re-wrote (according to cloc, an open source tool called "Count Lines of Code") 22,506 lines of code. Based on running a differences compare between the old code source and the current code source. Has been a fun learning experience since PHP 8.2 is new to me, since I learned PHP on 5.1/5.2 in High School and didn't touch it again for nearly a decade. I still have other features I want to get out, but they have been tricky for me to figure out such as the deck compare feature. Hopefully I can have that done in a few weeks, but we will see.

Thank you for reading this far. I wouldn't have made this site or continued its development if it weren't for friends such as (in no particular order):

• Kozmic
• True Champion Terry
• True Champion Isaac
• True Champion Caban
• True Champion Eli
• TyGuy
• Raravin And the Grand Archive community as a whole, and anyone else who has been supportive of this endeavor so far!

I hope to see some of you around at events. If you find me, I'll give you a Silvie sticker ;)
