other groups’ extensions - I think all groups’ extension ideas are interesting and I’ve learned a lot from each group. I found Website Time Tracker, Quick Notes, and Virtual Pet to be most impressive from my perspective. For Website Time Tracker, I found it helpful as I need a tool to track the amount of time I spend on each site, similar to the screen time function on my phone. This project has a similar idea to Tomato Clock since both are for self-management and improvement. For Quick Notes, I found it similar to an app/extension I frequently used in high school. In terms of the project itself, I like its detailed README file with great demonstrations of each function and how it works. For Virtual Pet, I like it simply because it’s adorable. For future open source contribution ideas, I’m thinking maybe combining the ideas of Website Time Tracker, Virtual Pet, and Tomato Clock, in which only the user completes certain tasks or stays focused on certain sites for a certain amount of time, the user can feed the pet or even buy more items (toys/treats).

take-away - The biggest take-away from this activity is I’ve learned the entire process of building an open-source project, even if it’s simple and with a small group of 3. This is my first open-source project and I found the process interesting, and I believe it builds a solid foundation for future larger open-source contributions. :)
