a few years ago the repo on GitHub was called littlebizzy/starter-theme wasn’t it, why did you abandon the starter theme approach and make it to be HoverCraft instead…

starter themes just waste time?

…what is a “starter” theme, I don’t even know what you guys are talking about lol 😆😆

Soo…

Originally LittleBizzy never had any themes, and wasn’t planning on releasing anything like HoverCraft. We were almost entirely focused on coding the occasional custom WordPress theme and so the littlebizzy/starter-theme repo was a loose framework we used, but it was pretty crappy and not exactly worthy of mentioning lol

HoverCraft was a reaction largely to Gutenberg and the enshittification of WordPress via page builders.

And we abandoned the “starter theme”
