📝 Adding a New Memo

To contribute a new memo:

   • Use descriptive filenames that summarize the topic.
   • Example filenames:

     • joyfork-vs-ragequit.md
     • erc-7827-integration.md
3. Commit and Push: Commit your changes and push them to the main branch.
4. Automatic Rendering: The new memo will automatically appear on the GitHub Pages site.

⚙️ Development Details

• GitHub Pages Configuration: The site is configured to serve from the root of the repository.
