So XMP part of the image embedding library did not work after several attempts with several different technologies by several different people. Now that project is abandoned for a newer technology that will be used later on. That technology will not be available for now so now I will be moving to solve bugs or add features in different projects.

I’m going to be starting off with something familiar and something I use on a regular basis: PDF.js. Specifically I will be working on this feature of adding a preview of links within the PDF viewer. My current research had lead me to this library that has potential. I have yet to examine the code properly and work with adding this external library to PDF.js, but things do look promising.

In the future I plan to contribute to other open source projects such as Gnome and XFCE. However, to start things I will be working on something familiar just to get in the routine of working like this again.

Hopefully everything works out well.
