just to let you know. I used the time after Christmas to prepare a 
little showcase on how to develop GNUstep apps when coming from 
macOS/Cocoa (these apps using AppKit) and how to integrate these into a 
popular desktop environment (because I think that’s what new devs 
would be interested in):

It was a nice experience to put together some bits and pieces I learned 
and explored the last year.

Hope you enjoy as well
