+# The Journey
+
+D&D Battlemaps can be frustrating. Either you spend hours to settle for an imperfect map, you spend significant time drawing out a map during the session
+to fit your needs, or even forgo the map altogether. Oftentimes, you only need a quick, concrete, place to get one's bearings. 


no comma after concrete

+I wanted to have something that could quickly generate a map based on a biome and some other input parameters, like for obstacles (and I think it turned out pretty alright).


I would remove the (and I think... parenthetical

+it was a popular front-end app deal.
+It took hours to start getting anything done, but I learned a lot in the process about HTML, Javascript, states, buttons, and how exactly not to organize the code
+for a web-app. This is where I met the first big roadblock. 
+I was starting nearly from scratch (the Create React App helpfully creates the necessary files and an example page), and needed to figure out how to DO things.


DO -> do

+All that was left was creating the actual map, and displaying it correctly, how hard could that be?

I would reword the end of this sentence to be like
