Thanks for distilling highlights from Hive and putting the screenshots in dark mode! Here's one more unsolicited suggestion: consider not having the screenshots be links. Because then I'll be able to zoom in to read them on my phone. And you have links to the post right below the photo. But I also got to say thanks again for putting together!
