- This is a minimalist daily log designed to track that journey, from beginning to infinite.
- It's a compassionate, constant reminder that getting 1% better everyday matters.
- It was inspired by this video and the learning in public manifesto .
- Important: the log is part of self-updating Github actions, do not edit the structure.
