Hi everyone! I'm in a bit of a tough spot, and after paying my rent this week I am going to be flat broke and will struggle to sustain myself for a while, and could really use the help.

Currently, I am spending a lot of time (between my uni exams) volunteering to help improve GNOME in many ways, such as:

- Better hardware enablement, such as (https://codeberg.org/kramo/cartridges/pulls/406) and (https://codeberg.org/kramo/cartridges/pulls/418) to enable controller input in Cartridges, and (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/682) to support back/forth hardware buttons, like those seen on some gaming/productivity mice, in GNOME Calendar.

- Improve accessibility in GNOME, with (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/4013) to improve accessibility of the selection mode in GNOME's screenshot overlay, and (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/681) to fix missing tooltips and labels in GNOME Calendar.

- Help with maintenance and add new features to many commonly used GTK and GNOME apps, such as adding a new comparison mode to Upscaler with (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Upscaler/-/merge_requests/101) (with help from Skelly), porting GNOME Music to Blueprint with (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-music/-/merge_requests/1140) and (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-music/-/merge_requests/1141), and helping to improve the ecosystem by occasionally streaming my changes on my Youtube account.

These changes take many hours of my free time to research, develop and test, with 0 compensation. If #Linux accessibility, hardware-enablement or having amazing, beautiful Linux and #LinuxMobile apps is important to you, I would strongly urge you to donate or boost this post!

My KoFi is https://ko-fi.com/zoeyahmed. My current goal is to raise £300, which should cover me and allow me to continue making GNOME and the FOSS ecosystem better and more accessible then ever!
Current Total: £166.17/£300

HTML Elephant – hi, I'm an elephant!

I started learning HTML this year. And web literacy. And this is my first project. Based on the lessons I've learned. It's a semi-serious project. It's a dream. Which I've realized. And a semi-training project. To practice simple HTML.
