Contributions
This project, as with all others, rests on the shoulders of a broad ecosystem supported by many volunteers doing thankless work, along with specific contributors.
In particular I'd like to call out:
- Audrey Roy Greenfeld for the cookiecutter tool and associated examples, which keep my many projects building with shared boilerplate with a minimum of fuss.
