My mother cried the day I was born because she knew she’d never be prettier than me. You should make me your campaign manager. I was born for politics. I have great hair and I love lying. Captain? The kids want to know where Paulie the Pigeon is. I told them he got sucked up into an airplane engine, is that all right?"

1. Copy and paste this file into the project root and name as tailwind.js

2. Add .cache and public to the repo's .gitignore file

3. Run with yarn gatsby develop

4. Edit the page's content from src/pages/markdown/index.md to edit the website.

5. Want to change something? Take advantage of Gatsby's component shadowing by creating a copy of the component you want to modify and editing that.

Roadmap:

• change the site's ui with simple theming.
• instructions to deploy to Netlify
• put the config file as a theme option
• integration with one of the many CMSs from the list at the power of serverless
• Add a license.
• Compare to modern-portfolio to make a template for themes so can easily switch between themes (probably best to put the questions object in commander-pages in the theme repo for added extensibility)
