This is super cool! As a former Swift dev who is now learning React as well, can you talk a little bit about your process? Your site looks super polished and I'm curious about how you went about learning React, designing the site, etc.

I'd be thrilled if I could come up with something so useful and it's a perfect "sample" initial page to make.

    Hey! Thanks you so much for the kind words. Answering your questions...

    My process of learning is basically to read as little as I can to have enought knowledge to get me started on building something. After that I just google the problems I find or read documentation to try to achieve what I need to do. It never worked for me to read a book and start working after that... I get bored and quit.

    The site ended up looking really nice, of course the last thing I did was making it nice, at the beggining it was really ugly. I'm really bad at designing so I usually try to find sites that I like and "get inspired" with that... if you know codepen.io maybe you will find some resemble.

    If you want to send PRs feel free!

      My learning process is pretty much the same; that's interesting. I definitely can't learn from books.

      That's a good tip; I might steal that in the future. Thanks again.

I see you're using quill. If you don't mind, can you tell me if it supports @mentions #hashtags?

The ability to apply styles to a range within a string was a pleasant surprise. well built.
