Codex Community Workshop #1: What Is Codex?

🌟 What is Codex? And what can you actually build with it?

Join us for Workshop #1 in a new hands-on Codex series designed for students and early-career builders! We'll kick off with a brief live introduction to Codex, followed by a guided session where you'll build and publish your own personal portfolio site, along with setting up a useful recurring Automation.

No previous Codex experience or polished project idea needed! Just bring your laptop and leave with a live site and an Automation you can continue to use.
