Refocusing #8

Been working a lot on Toybox lately, including a lot of features intended to replace commonly used SaaS.

It's not been difficult work, but the roadmap has very quickly bloated in size to something I think is frankly unmanageable.

It's also deviating from a lot of foundational aspects I wanted for the project - basically staying "tiny but mighty".

Then there's also an ever-changing landscape for things like SEO, that I just cannot keep up with right now. Seeing lots of reports for example that Google has kind of killed niche blogging in the common sense.

For many projects I can also foresee having to cut these out or disable them anyway.

Lastly, I don't want to get stuck in a loop of refining Toybox at the expense of actually building projects with it.

I'm going to be removing a lot of features, but they'll stay visible on a feature freeze branch for having an easy code reference point.
