Variables

Homebrewery’s Variables is a feature that really takes a minute to commit to memory. I’ve long avoided writing about it, mostly because I haven’t found a strong reason to use it. However, it seems like more features are likely to built on top of it going forward. And, because I hardly actually use the Homebrewery Variables

HB Redesign: BrewItem

I’ve been working on a redesign of the Homebrewery UI for a few months now. I have sort of kept the open Pull Request on Github up to date with where I am at, but I realizing that I have a website related to the Homebrewery where I can talk through it. A few things HB Redesign: BrewItem
