  7. Update the name in package.json: Find the dev:devvit command and replace YOUR_SUBREDDIT_NAME with the subreddit name you just created.

  9. Upload: Run npm run deploy and go through the prompts
  10. Playtest: Run npm run dev to playtest your application in production by going to your subreddit. Use the subreddit menu action called "New Hello World Post" to create the post.
