Hey, hope you come to the bright side of writing soon 🙏
As for the cover images, yeah the new ones with the color brand are in figma. I hired a designer on fiverr to make a template for me, and have been using that :).

Thank you for sharing this! For me as well, it's all about trying new things and sharing those new learnings. When we don't have the pressure of work or making money, we can do great things.

100%, I often get asked by people wanting to get into writing how much money I earn.
And often end up telling them if that's what they're after it might not be the best career.
I think that if you write from passion it becomes way more valuable.

If you know you'll write an article on what you're learning, you take your time and dive deep to understand in a way that you normally would not.
