For the last six months I’ve been [writing weeknotes](https://timriley.info/tag/continuations) about my work on Hanami and its ecosystem. I figured it’s time I shared them here in the forum too!

I’ll use this topic to link to each weeknotes as I publish them. Feel free to subscribe to follow along.
