Making GNOME Platform Demos
The End
Hello! I didn't blog nearly as often as I should have, but I'm here now to give a comprehensive report of the work I managed to get done this summer! This has been such a rewarding experience, and I do not intend for this to be the end of my GNOME Contributions. I hope you all see more of me in the FOSS world.
Mentors
Special thanks to Sonny Piers and Andy Holmes for everything. I wasn't the perfect intern, but I couldn't have asked for better mentors. I'm so thankful to know such cool people
My teammates
Also another special thanks to my fellow interns that I got to work with this summer: Sriyansh Shivam and Akshay Warrier
Had a ton of fun and got a lot done with these awesome individuals.
Workbench
If you don't know what it is, please download it already. It is such a useful tool to have at your disposal.

What I've Learned
I love working with GTK4 and Libadwaita. It allows us to create such beautiful and forward-thinking applications. The GNOME HIG is top-tier.
I need to ask for help when stuck.
How to write using Markdown, using that right now ;)
How awesome open-source development is.
I've learned what I want to do for the rest of my life. I want to contribute, even if I'm not the best at it or if life gets in the way. I might as well use what little skill I have to give back. The only appropriate attitude to wealth is to share it, and my coffers are filled with GNOME Documentation now.
What I Need to Do
Fix the Drop Zone entry
Contribute more
Get more involved in the community as a whole
Thanks and see you soon!
Edit: libmanette
I also completed a libmanette entry. libmanette is a simple GObject game controller library. The entry is functional, but libmanette is currently in need of a maintainer.
