But before I do, let me just give my question some backstory. </p> <p>I’m not new to coding html and css. I’ve been doing it for myself in a hobby-like manner for years.

Learning, coding, experimenting, reading, more experimenting, breaking things and fixing them again. It’s all fun and games and then I read about Bootstrap, and Vue, and React, and SCSS … </p> <p>… and it’s soooo intimidating.
