Contributions

This project, as with all others, rests on the shoulders of a broad ecosystem supported by many volunteers doing thankless work, along with specific contributors.

In particular I'd like to call out:

• Audrey Roy Greenfeld for the cookiecutter tool and associated examples, which keep my many projects building with shared boilerplate with a minimum of fuss.
• Sindre Sorhus and Sam Verschueren for the alfy tool, which provided an easy on-ramp to integrating this project with Alfred.
