Mental note: Create an incremental save feature on journal entries. Because I really don't like typing things twice

Mental note 2: Also, finish getting images into journals. It looks barren without them...

Had a bit of a rough day (well...really "a rough last night" considering my dog was psych-ing me out all night making me think he had made a mess when it was really just bad....bad gas...), but still managed to get a few bug fixes in.

Really, my next priority needs to be communicating the goal of ProjectGallery.me, which I haven't really reviewed since a couple of weeks ago when I first came up with the idea and posted about it on twitter.

Ultimately, ProjectGallery.me is intended to be a portfolio of work for people to showcase their work, big and small with context about the technology or experience in building it. It's not looking to be a competitor to Product Hunt, which, as the name implies, is geared toward commercial products. Being a place for portfolios of work, I want this to be a place for everything from cool toy projects all the way up to full on commercial products.

One reason for this is to relieve the pressure that comes along with trying to burn mental cycles coming up with some personal, stand-out way to show off the work when your work has very little to do with that sort of thing. Having a standardized portfolio relieves some of that pressure and allows the work to speak for itself.

Additionally, I want to make it easy to find other work for learning or inspiration. I have yet to implement search (considering not much is here, yet), but it would be great to be able to search for projects people have done in a particular space or even with a given technology and read about their experience. But this will not be prioritized until there is a little content.

That said, I have my first external user! Thanks to thystle for taking the time to add his project STEMin10!
