        <h1>Production Capable</h1>
        <p>The Bandolier isn't "student grade". It's based on code used to power <a href="https://learnjsthehardway.com">learnjsthehardway.com</a> supporting thousands of users all watching thousands of hours of <b>video</b>.  <b>Yet, it's still easy to study and use.</b>  The Bandolier demonstrates that you don't have to complicated to be useful.</p>

        <h1>Low Friction Progress</h1>
        <p>The code isn't hidden away in a convoluted tree of directories and <code>node_modules</code>.  It's readily available for you to view, study, change, or even replace as you need.  No only that but The Bandolier <b>advocates</b> copying, modifying, and replacing code as you learn. All of the components are loosely coupled and easily replaced. Don't like my ORM? Use your favorite. Want to write a <a href="https://go.dev/">Go</a> backend?  Go for it. </p>

      <p class="center-self no-flex" style="--w: 50%">Other frameworks make you create 4, 5, or sometimes 10 different files just to get a "Hello World" going.  The Bandolier requires 1 new file to start, and editing 1 other file. <b>There's even a template generator to start all of your files in each step.</b> Each new step in the development process requires only 1 or 2 new files, and everything keeps working as you work.</p>

        <p>If you're just starting out it's hard to know what to do next.  The Bandolier supports a <b>personal development process</b> that takes you from an initial UI to a working application in logical steps. The process is the result of watching thousands of beginners struggle with getting started, and has worked to help them start and finish their projects.</p>
