I've got my hands pretty full with another project and unfortunately I don't use Twitter anymore since it became X. If you'd like, though, I can send an email to your quilt store's contact email (team@) and you can reply to that to tell me a bit more about what you're trying to do, and if I can give any genuinely useful suggestions as to how I would go about it, I will do so. But I realize technical advice != actual developer hours and if that's not so helpful, no worries.
If something(s) changed there would you have stayed or would you return?
By measurable account he's made the platform better overall, contrary to certain propaganda narrative talking points.
He did of course make Twitter-X less of a bubble machine, which arguably is bad for society because then ideological mobs with certain unchallenged ideas or beliefs go unchallenged (doesn't matter what "side" you're on, there are extreme and bad-wrong ideas on both/all) - so you'd begin to get exposed to content that may make you uncomfortable. If you're not able to quickly scan through it and not react so you just move on, it would become a tiresome and a challenge.
You could go "full bubble" like Instagram recently did though and create a setting default on to not show you "political" content from people you don't follow - arguably adding to the detriment of society, and of a seeming concerted effort by bad actors towards division and conquering us by helping reinforce the bubble walls.
I find your perspective fascinating but I never ‘got’ Twitter. My current perspective is that a bunch of idiots are loudly shouting the shortest/most successful piece of mimetic garbage has currently evolved and the day I see something useful arise out of that morass of RNA-analogue I’ll be amazed but until then I wish it would stop taking attention away from larger more nuanced conversations which are more than a couple hundred base pairs (or tokens) long that we need to be having in order to navigate our current waters
I just got in to milling trees in the last month, went from a 20" to mill up an old oak that fell in my back yard to a 36" 661. All I can say is the satisfaction of seeing what is in a tree has been some of the most fun I've ever had in 100+ degree weather. If you made it 75 degrees and 5000 years old I may never stop hunting.

I always thought I was ADHD, then I started a business, turns out I just like to do things my way and lead not follow. I've struggled to "focus" my whole life I'm a jack of all trades and master of none.
When you find the right thing you'll know. I would do what I do now for free or if I was worth 100 Million because I love the game.
I started StumpCrafters.com just a few months ago and its great. I love being out in the shop more and still getting to do a few things with code here and there.
Im not quite there with the customization yet but its in the works.
They play a similar drinking game in ski bars in Austria - you each get 3 swings of the hammer, before passing the hammer on. Last nail left buys a round. Except you have to hit the nails in with the other end of the hammer, the part for pulling out the nails.
I'm not kidding, in the middle of bars they have a big ol' tree stump full of nails
This is great. My friends and I played a similar game we called hammerschlaggen -- except instead of a hammer we used the sharp end of an axe and a real stump!
I got burnt out doing JS apps development during the past 2 years. I got laid off and knew I did not want a desk job anymore.
I took what skills I had woodworking/web development and started a business. Its called Stump Crafters I build "stumps" to hammer nails in to its a pretty fun game and is not as dumb as it sounds. The game is in much the same vein as Cornhole, washers or other backyard games.
If you have money and space think about a table saw and build some jigs for it(its like getting your IDE setup).
If space and moeny are a problem look in to joinery to get started. Hand cutting "dove tails" is extraordinarily gratifying and can be done with minimal investment while you are learning but as you will see the price quickly gose up if you want the best tools.
If you have more specific questions about wood working or welding let me know (PM's are best) I could talk for days.
