The animations are janky, and the responsive adaptation is a dumpster fire
BUT, my new Gatsby + MDX digital garden is up and running. It's readable and functional, despite the best efforts of gatsby-node.js and flexbox to thwart my gardening dreams

It looks great! Sometimes I feel like my tombstone will have a note about me fighting with flexbox. Of course, it will be ever so slightly misaligned, and I will die a second time, so...

I don't understand half the tech/concepts you have used, but hey, I can visualise an end-goal for my blog now! 😁
I have kept track of changes from the previous version, as well as tweaks on this new one. Definitely going to steal ideas 👍🙏😜
Thanks, Maggie!

It looks great! I'm sure very few people will notice what you say is janky.
If you add fade in effect to the pages the transition will look seamless!
