I'm an indie full-stack developer and content creator building my version of the digital world one step at a time. All coding projects are built from the ground up, from planning and designing all the way to solving real-life problems with code. All video content is built the same way, from ideation and planning, all the way to finalizing the content with artistic touches. I publish that content on my YouTube channel "ForrestKnight" to more than 500k subscribers.

๐จโ๐ป Forrest's Coding Journey
I started my coding journey as a naive computer science student with a passion to learn everything I could about this programming world - code, unix, linux, theory. And all the while, teaching myself iOS development with a dream to build my own app, but that soon got overshadowed by my desire to excel in Java. A desire that landed me a full-stack software engineering job upon graduation. However, I had another desire I had been pursuing throughout this time - YouTube content creation. I eventually ended up quitting my software engineering job to pursue YouTube full-time, and that has been my focus ever since. But there's something that's always bothered me about my journey - abandoning my dream of building my own app to pursue the safe route, a job. Now I've already taken the leap away from that safety net into this uncomfortable, unexplored world that it being a creator. And it worked out, but again, it became comfortable. It's easier to create a video than go out on a ledge and build my own product. I do have to eat, at the end of the day, but I think it's time. It's time to get uncomfortable again. I have a burning desire to get back on the horse, and fulfill that dream younger me had of building my own app, my own product. And in order to do that, I'll be implmementing a few measures to streamline my YouTube content to focus more time on fulfilling that dream - a dream that I'll be ready to tackle in 2023 due to the measure I'm putting in place now until the end of 2022. Don't wait up, because I'm coming.
In small screens (e.g. mobile screens) the right-20 style pushes the button near the center of the screen and it looks odd. I would recommend to change that to something like right-5 which seems nicer.
Personal Touch: I incorporated some minor opacity so as the content to be more readable on a small screen. You could try that and decide if this makes the content more readable in smaller screens.
In browsers where the body color matters for the display of the webpage, I would recommend to change that. This can be easily specified in index.html file by providing the following class to the <body> tag: class="bg-white dark:bg-stone-900"
In the Contact.jsx component the button type should be type="submit" so it actually processes the information. Also keep in mind that Getform only allows a maximum of 25 free submissions.
