Anything missing? Feature ideas?

Shortcode support. A select widget to see the installed shortcodes and insert them in your post. Need not be more advanced than that for me.

Yo, so the HugoNest project is still chugging along. It’s just my lil’ side gig, so don’t expect lightning-fast progress or anything. Today’s grind was all about slapping together the website—sounds chill on paper, but man, it’s a total pain in the ass when you actually get into it. Still got a metric ton of stuff to tackle, and don’t even get me started on the docs… haven’t even touched that mess yet.

Finally hit “Submit” for that market review… aaaand —
BAM! Rejected.
“Nah, fam, fix this first.”
Back to the lab, ya know? Gotta tweak, adjust, and resubmit. The grind don’t stop.
