Hello everyone!! My name is Srishti, and I am a student from India with a background in web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and basic experience in programming and open source. I am interested in contributing to MIT App Inventor for Google Summer of Code 2026.

I am currently exploring the codebase, documentation, and issues to understand where I can contribute. I would appreciate any guidance on beginner-friendly issues or recommended starting points.

Looking forward to learning and contributing to the community.

Thank you!

I recommend the lastopened bug as a simple bug to fix.

Search this board for the last few hours to see one.

That bug is fixed on the test server and the fix will be in the next release.

The lastopened bug might be only half fixed, only preventing broken lastopened references from happening.

It does not deal with inability to fall back onto Screen1 when presented with a lastopened pointing to a missing screen.

I removed Screen4 from this aia but left its lastopened pointing to Screen4.

It can be imported, but won't open. (Tested on ai2-test)

I hesitate to gamble on how many of these might be lurking in user storage somewhere.
