Screen snapshot of a "WORDLE SIDEKICK" Angular App, which looks a lot like Wordle, but with a "Suggestions" panel showing words comprised of the matching/missed letters. Created in less than two hours with Gemini CLI and the Open Spec Framework.

Did I mention it's an Angular app . . . with an "Install" icon in the address bar?

The #SuperBowl is February 8. Or is it the #SuperbOwl? 🦉 😉

A somewhat regular reminder to please #CapitalizeEachWord in a multi-word hashtag. Doing so helps screen readers identify each word and then say the hashtag correctly. It’s one of the simplest accessibility things we can do.
