Worked on Chatterino/chatterino2 over four months, focusing on cross-platform desktop application development with C++ and the Qt framework. Delivered features such as markdown-enabled user notes, introducing a MarkdownLabel widget and updating the editing dialog for richer note formatting. Addressed macOS-specific usability by fixing Cmd+Backspace and Command+Delete behaviors in text inputs, aligning them with platform conventions and improving editing reliability. Enhanced hotkey handling by disabling conflicting shortcuts on macOS while maintaining functionality elsewhere. Contributed to repository governance by updating contributor documentation. The work emphasized targeted, maintainable fixes and features, improving user experience and supporting future markdown-centric enhancements across platforms.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Delivered cross-platform usability improvement in Chatterino2 by refining hotkey behavior for split focusing. Specifically, disabled default split focus hotkeys on macOS to avoid conflicts with native Option + Arrow navigation and enabled them on non-macOS platforms. The change reduces user confusion and accidental navigation overrides for macOS users while preserving expected hotkey behavior elsewhere. It was implemented with a targeted fix and minimal risk.
