Someone cares that I messed up

A cool thing happened today! Well, not exactly today, but I saw it today, so that counts. I got my first PR on a library I wrote. I probably should have been watching the repo (why isn’t that the default?).

Yes, it’s sibgif, the library that I previously wrote about. It looks like I capitalized GIF when I shouldn’t have and it errored out for a particular build system. Although it’s something that I messed up, it’s pretty cool that someone is using it, and even cared enough about making it work that they dove into the code and fixed my mistake!
