   Let's say that you can't code for the life of you, but you still think you have some ideas that would make #Gnome much better for the average user

   And let's also say you wrote those ideas down as issues in the Gnome GitLab 1-2+ years ago, and nothing has happened since…

   What would you recommend that one should do to get some eyes on the ideas, just to at least discuss if they're worth considering? Without seeming like an entitled crybaby that thinks others should work for you for free?

     Let's say for example some ideas like

     Show "Dash preview" when holding down Super https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7443

     Search trough recent files, sorted by applications, in Overview https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/whiteboards/-/issues/165

     Expose favorite folders to Overview search https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/3333

     Or maybe even a less important, but for some reason more popular (according to GitLab thumbs ups) Hold Ctrl to lock aspect ratio of resizing window https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/whiteboards/-/issues/283

     Stuff like that, you know?

     @3rik Yeah, using the forum is not a bad idea! Thanks!

     @forteller I think that what you are doing now, is the best way, that is getting other people's attention and possible engagement on the issues, so that they may give thumbs up, comments etc. in the issues. Write on the forum, if they got one. Of course, it depends on the developers if this helps or not, but I can't think of anything else that will help.
