include MyConcern

I think that’s what I’m gonna use as the monospace font in my design system

@nirvdrum I’d definitely give it a look. Even in alpha, it’s one of the better, maybe even top 3, frontend experiences I’ve had. And that’s not just a cursory glance, obligatory 8K word guide on the process https://thomascannon.me/guides/the-rails-view-layer
