I just forked this into the HYF org. Are you ok if we link to that instead? Your credit remains, since you are linked as the parent fork.

Suggested change

p.s. I hope soon in the future I will set up some hyf hosting that we can maintain, where we can host apps like this "officially". If we get to that point, I will reach out and we can host it at hyf instead of your own vercel account :-)

- Sign in at [vercel.com](https://vercel.com) (use **Continue with GitHub**).

- Choose your forked repo `lost-at-sea-exercise` and click **Import**.
- Leave the default settings and click **Deploy**.
- When the build finishes, open your project’s URL and use it for the exercise.
