<td>Helping the agency build a simple client site, and rebuilding the agency's site.Trying to run with drupalcms/mercury out of the box, and a dripyard theme for the agency.Pretty excited about some of the default layout and component options, but have also hit a number of confusing things to troubleshoot or call out as issues.Displaying content from reference fields like taxonomy terms and rendered entities remains a mystery.Currently looking at putting a view with a contextual filter on a content type page and hitting the wall.</td>

<td>Paul Lieberman</td>
<td>I built a page to display my bicycles. It uses an SDC which implements a carousel using Swiper.js, and has a slot to drop in whatever you want to display. I built a code component which uses JsonApiCliebt to fetch the bicycle data from my main Drupal site. The code component has a single Prop which is the name of the bike. I add the code component to the slot in the SDC, one for each bike. I'm very happy with it. <a href="https://dev.paullieberman.net/bicycles">https://dev.paullieberman.net/bicycles</a></td>
