@npub1gpq…fnxc Yay!
TBH, I have absolutely no tracking scripts on it, so I have how many people visit it. 🙃

I helped Adam Bergstein by writing the theming chapter in his new #Drupal 10 Masterclass book. As payment I made him 1) give me 🍺🍺 2) put a note in the book that I did the chapter for 🍺🍺

@npub1pv8…0wp6 Yeah, front-end is a lot more complicated than it used to be. There's a new theme generator tool in Drupal, and we want to make Olivero work with that (we have a couple blockers). But I totally get that.

What project are you trying to contribute to? Drupal core's default branch is now 11.x. But there are different modules/themes that have different branches.
but yeah, I echo what Tim said, get into #contribute in Drupal Slack and you can ask questions there :)
Or feel free to reply here, and I'll get to it when I see it

@npub13u2…x3ey Great post!
Personally I'd love to see some :where() in there (esp wrapping the :not() 's) to reduce some specificity.
