       | Note that this covers the past year or two, and I'd mention in
       | advance that most of these contributions were selfishly-
       | motivated, because they helped other projects that I've been
       | relying on:
       | 
       | - html2canvas: because it met 99% of a feature's requirements (to
       | support in-browser screenshots for users to attach with web-based
       | feedback), except that font-awesome CSS icons weren't rendering
       | correctly.
       | 
       | - Google Lighthouse: because there was a false-positive-ish
       | result when auditing one of my applications that seemed
       | resolvable by updating a dependency version. Long story short; it
       | turned out to involve more than simply updating a version number.
       | 
       | - GitLab: because I managed to add a "deploy freeze" to a GitLab
       | repository using the web UI, and then couldn't find a way to
       | remove it again without making a curl request -- so I figured I'd
       | save someone else the hassle and go ahead and implement the
       | deletion UI; also a slightly longer journey than expected (but,
       | as with all of these, enjoyable and satisfying learning and
       | problem-solving).
       | 
       | - grocy: because I posted it to HN a-year-and-a-half ago, and
       | then (after that post gained some traction) began to feel a
       | slight burden of responsibility for anyone using the project's
       | provided container image, and decided I'd take on some
       | maintenance and cleanup of it to (hopefully) help.
       | 
       | - frozen-flask: generating static landing pages may or may not be
       | a good idea (and may or may not be an attempt to game SEO), but
       | either way, I wanted to try it out, and frozen-flask mostly
       | worked in the project's environment aside from some small Python-
       | version compatibility issues that were a good puzzle to solve.
       | 
       | In almost all cases here, "working on" means fixing a bug or two
       | that have blocked me in some other, often more feature-oriented,
       | context.
       | 
       | Often it has also included surveying previous knowledge of the
       | issues and previous and/or in-progress attempts to fix them.
