Glad you had a much-deserved rest. And thanks for your questions.

I’ve slowed down my efforts and enthusiasm about VoteQuickly because:

  1. I think my fears of the “problem” may have been overblown (I’m not seeing the headlines about extremely long wait times anymore, such as the 8-hr waits that GA started out with)

  2. From my experience at the polls on 3 separate days: I’ve seen some odd behavior that makes me think that (some) people actually choose and enjoy the long waits (which I’m guessing is because maybe they think waiting longer makes the experience more meaningful and more of a story)

  3. I’ve gotten practically 0 traction when trying to promote it, and time is running out.

BUT, I’ve still been spending time trying to improve it just because (like you were saying) it’s a helpful way to learn (Redwood, GraphQL, TypeScript, etc).

I posted 3 questions to Thinking about patterns for services, GraphQL, Apollo, cells, etc and with David T’s help have solved #1 and #3 but not the question about how to use GraphQL queries/mutations from the front-end outside of a component.

So that’s what I’ll be focusing on next.
