The personal project I'm most proud of is ZeroPoint Components.
I needed reusable HTML "blocks" for @11ty.dev because that's how designers think. Maybe you need that too.

I'm US based, but here goes anyway. I've worked with WordPress for 20 years, lately with the @roots.io stack.
I love the web and I love building things that help people build things, which is why I made an BuildAwesome/11ty starter called ZeroPoint (getzeropoint.com).

Looking over the #buildawesome stretch goals: Stripe Integration at $200k would be a big one for me, as would the final audio/video media library. Good stuff ahead, and I hope this helps to usher in a renewed interest in people building (and owning) their own sites again.
