Description
I tagged all comments from "What Are You Working On?" (like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45561428) posts and built a simple SvelteKit website, hope it's helpful to find people with similar projects. I'm also thinking of adding some analysis of project types over time to see changes in tech
