On this day, 2 years ago!
It was my last day at the office, as I took the riskiest decision in my life, quitting my 9-5, to focus solely on building my tech skills.
Fast-forward today, it paid off! And only after discovering open source.
Thank You

Like so... Form should be a client component, then in your action is a callback that calls your serve action function that also runs a client reset from a ref of current form.

What's wip? 🧑🏾💻
I started working on one of the ideas 💡 from "The Notepad" this weekend.
Starting with the smallest 🤣😂
I will reveal the page and everything will be Open Source as soon as I secure the domain name 😉🤞🏾
It's architectural mock-up.
The Notepad 💡
One of my oldest notepad, and exactly the most valuable one for its content. I've got some of my weird ideas 🙃 I.e. things to hack written in this tiny book.
I will start to reveal and bring these written content to life.

Turns out I needn't write the whole new function for cancellation 🤣😂
Read well bro. 😏
I just needed to treat the `cancelOn` as a config property that it is, ...and use in the configuration of the function I intend cancel 🙂
Just when I thought of a certain case, i.e. possible cancelling a scheduled reminder when a user accepts their repo invite before the invite re-sends... It was quick to have found the "cancelOn" 🤤

I've been doing Open Source for 1.5month+ now, and it's only recently I just got a fun reaction 😃 to how I craft my PR Descriptions.
I try put in fine effort into writing my descriptions, I mean I'm literally tryna convince reviewers to merge 😌
Thanks

After discovering this, I have written a lot of one liners. 🤣😂
But, how long is too long for a one liner? 🤔
This.... is possible?? 😀
I just learnt today after forgetting to `await` the `user` response, now I can `await` at point of usage 😅
