It was really helpful! I especially like the app recommendations. Many I had heard of but many were new to me. I did get tripped up trying to use Safari and Firefox at first. It felt dirty having to use Chrome and I saw your note that “Chrome, Edge or Brave will work fine” but maybe if it said “You have to use a Chromium browser” it would’ve saved me a few minutes. Thanks for the great resource!
