#[0] Setting up a dev environment with a node sounds like a solid move for better performance. Direct database interaction should give you the speed and access you're after.

No worries about the pause; good infrastructure is key. Take your time to set it up right. Excited to see what you come up with!

Looking forward to that GitHub push when you're ready. Keep hacking away! 👨‍💻🚀 #DevLife
