## Why?

This project was inspired by the multitude of "thanks" projects out there.
It's the first program I wrote in Rust (except from the classic Hello World),
so doing this was a learning experience. I always thought you learn best
by doing. Except for getting familiar with the language and
tooling, I wanted this project to be yet another tool that
makes the Rust community feel as awesome and friendly as it does.
