Drew Mele developed and enhanced multiple features for the runelite/plugin-hub repository over a two-month period, focusing on Java-based plugin development and UI/UX improvements. He delivered the Skill-Lock Plugin, iteratively refining its interface, tooltip logic, and asset management to streamline skill lock management for users. Drew also introduced sound effects and accessibility enhancements, ensuring compliance with plugin standards. In addition, he built a Task-Tracker module for in-game task management and an Equipment Enforcer feature to enforce stat requirements, both with audio and UI polish. His work emphasized maintainability, version control, and user experience, demonstrating depth in Java and UI design.
In 2026-01, delivered three feature modules in runelite/plugin-hub with a strong focus on user experience, reliability, and plugin standards compliance. Skill-Lock Enhancements added sound effects, improved UI and tooltip logic, spelling corrections, and documentation updates across related commits, enhancing usability and accessibility. Task-Tracker Feature introduced creation, logging, management, completion, and backlog handling, with UI/audio polishing and a UI rename for better in-game alignment. Equipment Enforcer Feature introduced minimum stat enforcement with config options and accompanying fixes, including a log level adjustment and asset updates. Also performed targeted bug fixes (tooltip reliability, spelling corrections, safety checks) and a code refactor to improve efficiency and support for Resizable UI modes. Overall, the month delivered tangible business value through improved UX, reliability, and maintainability while ensuring compliance with pluginhub standards.

December 2025 focused on delivering and refining the Skill-Lock Plugin for the runelite/plugin-hub. The initial release was accompanied by iterative updates, including new resources, an icon, and a clearer plugin description. UI stability was improved through migration from WidgetInfo to ComponentID, along with user-facing enhancements such as tooltip fixes at higher skill levels and a shift-to-peek feature for locked skills. Asset hygiene was addressed by adding resources and removing unused assets, ensuring assets are properly tracked in Git. These changes were implemented through a series of commits that prioritized maintainability and user value. The result is a more reliable plugin that accelerates lock management and reduces user friction, while demonstrating proficiency in Java-based plugin development, UI/UX debugging, and asset/version control.
