It can be fun!\n\nSome folks have set up their own self-hosted AMAs on their own websites:\n[Mikkel Malmberg](https://mikkelmalmberg.com/ama)'s is one of my favorites. My\n[website](https://macwright.com/) could use one, but I keep things\n[super simple](https://macwright.com/2019/02/06/how-to-blog) over there so the\nlittle bit of data storage & CRUD involved in an AMA is too much for me.\n\nSo this val does it, and you can make it your own!\n\n## Make it your own\n\nClick **Remix** in the top right and that'll make a copy of this val in your\naccount. Then click on `ama.tsx` and see where it has my name & web address, and\nreplace those with your own.\n\nThen you probably want a nicer URL - with `ama.tsx` open, you should have that\nweb preview on the right side of the screen (or the bottom if you have a small\nscreen) - click the pencil icon to the right of the URL and select a nicer\nsubdomain. For me, I chose `tmcw-ama`. Then you'll get a nice subdomain that you\ncan copy with the copy button next to that button.\n\nAnd then you're pretty much ready to go!",[142],"12a8b23a-4eef-11f0-8480-f69ea79377d9","static","4319dddd-6c5b-4a75-a301-69f4f54368dc",["D",1750544916486],"directory",[148],"pulls","branches","forks","envVars",{"_160":41,"_162":41},"connections",{"_160":41,"_161":41},"count","unfilledCount","emptyCount",{"_18":147,"_20":148,"_128":149,"_129":-5,"_130":67,"_131":65,"_132":37,"_22":190,"_64":41,"_134":151,"_136":-5,"_138":26,"_139":-5,"_169":191,"_88":192},{"_18":182,"_20":183,"_128":184,"_129":149,"_130":67,"_131":65,"_132":37,"_22":185,"_64":41,"_134":186,"_136":187,"_138":26,"_139":-5,"_169":188,"_88":189},{"_18":175,"_20":176,"_128":177,"_129":149,"_130":67,"_131":65,"_132":37,"_22":178,"_64":41,"_134":99,"_136":179,"_138":26,"_139":-5,"_169":180,"_88":181},{"_18":141,"_20":142,"_128":143,"_129":-5,"_130":67,"_131":65,"_132":37,"_22":172,"_64":41,"_134":99,"_136":145,"_138":26,"_139":-5,"_169":173,"_88":174},{"_18":126,"_20":127,"_128":35,"_129":-5,"_130":67,"_131":65,"_132":37,"_22":168,"_64":41,"_134":135,"_136":137,"_138":26,"_139":-5,"_169":170,"_88":171},["D",1750544916486],"children",[],[127],["D",1750544916486],[],[142],"12a8af24-4eef-11f0-8480-f69ea79377d9","style.css","f444f845-7411-411c-913b-c57140757d53",["D",1750544916486],"body {\n font-family:\n -apple-system,\n BlinkMacSystemFont,\n avenir next,\n avenir,\n segoe ui,\n helvetica neue,\n Adwaita Sans,\n Cantarell,\n Ubuntu,\n roboto,\n noto,\n helvetica,\n arial,\n sans-serif;\n line-height: 1.4;\n padding: 0;\n margin: 0;\n font-size: 18px;\n}\n\nheader {\n border-bottom: 1px solid #000;\n padding: 20px;\n}\n\nheader h1 a {\n text-decoration: none;\n color: inherit;\n}\n\nheader h1 a:hover {\n text-decoration: underline;\n}\n\nheader h1, header p {\n margin: 0;\n}\n\na {\n color: blue;\n text-decoration: underline;\n text-decoration-skip-ink: auto;\n}\n\na:hover {\n background: yellow;\n}\n\nmain {\n max-width: 680px;\n padding: 0 20px;\n margin: 40px auto 40px auto;\n}\n\nmain h2 {\n margin-top: 1rem;\n margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\n font-size: 20px;\n}\n\nmain time {\n opacity: 0.5;\n}\n\nmain textarea {\n font: inherit;\n width: 100%;\n height: 100px;\n padding: 5px 5px 15px 5px;\n resize: none;\n border-radius: 5px;\n border: 1px solid #000;\n}\n\nmain article {\n font-weight: bold;\n font-style: italic;\n}\n\nform {\n position: relative;\n margin-bottom: 2rem;\n}\n\nform button {\n font: inherit;\n position: absolute;\n bottom: 5px;\n right: 5px;\n border-radius: 5px;\n border: 1px solid #000;\n background: #eee;\n padding: 1px 7px;\n}\n\nform button:hover {\n background: #eec;\n}\n\nfooter {\n border-top: 1px solid #000;\n padding: 20px;\n}\n\nopen-heart {\n display: inline-flex;\n padding: 0.4em 0.8em;\n cursor: pointer;\n font-size: 20px;\n transition: transform 0.3s;\n color: #ccc;\n font-family:\n -apple-system,\n BlinkMacSystemFont,\n avenir next,\n avenir,\n segoe ui,\n helvetica neue,\n Adwaita Sans,\n Cantarell,\n Ubuntu,\n roboto,\n noto,\n helvetica,\n arial,\n sans-serif;\n}\n\n.off {\n transition: opacity 0.3s;\n}\n\n.on {\n position: absolute;\n z-index: 1;\n opacity: 0;\n transform: scale(0);\n transition: transform 0.3s;\n}\n\nopen-heart:not([disabled]):hover,\nopen-heart:not([disabled]):focus {\n transform: scale(1.2);\n}\n\nopen-heart::after {\n font-size: 18px;\n padding-left: 4px;\n content: \" \" attr(count) \"\";\n}\n\n[aria-pressed=\"true\"] .on {\n transform: scale(1);\n opacity: 1;\n}\n\n[aria-pressed=\"true\"] .off {\n opacity: 0;\n}\n\n[aria-pressed=\"true\"] {\n color: #f00;\n}\n\n[aria-busy=\"true\"] {\n animation: pulsate 0.4s infinite;\n}\n\n@keyframes pulsate {\n 0% {\n transform: scale(1);\n }\n 100% {\n transform: scale(1.2);\n }\n}\n\n[errored] {\n opacity: 0.5;\n}",[],[148,176],"12a8a4b6-4eef-11f0-8480-f69ea79377d9","heart.js","6ad7acc7-266c-4d04-81ce-407777a95c57",["D",1750544916486],"script","class OpenHeartElement extends HTMLElement {\n constructor() {\n super(), this.KEY = \"_open_heart\", this._send = this.send.bind(this);\n }\n connectedCallback() {\n if (\n this.tabIndex = 0,\n this.setAttribute(\"role\", \"button\"),\n this.setAttribute(\"aria-busy\", \"false\"),\n !this.emoji || !this.href\n ) {\n return console.error(this, \"missing required attributes\"),\n void this.toggleAttribute(\"disabled\", !0);\n }\n this.validateEmoji()\n ?
