The Idea

4 students at the University of Notre Dame wanted to create a one stop extension for notifications, widgets and system stats instead of having to install different extensions for each. Hence, the idea for GnomeHub was born.

Planning & Setup

The team got together to plan out the features for the final product. A design template was made and the first step taken was to create a discord for our community along with a GitHub repository to host our code!

Initial Product

After a few weeks of exploring gnome and setting up a basic gnome extension, the extension finally displays the information it is supposed to! The team worked to get the notifications, weather data & system stats and store them in the code locally. Next step, UI!

Next steps and Improvements

After reviewing project requirements and looking at the progress so far, the team made note of their next steps. They plan to introduce a better UI for notifications, more system stats and more options for widgets allowing better customisation. The next month will be spent working on these elements!
