My hope (and personal goal) for #CircuitPython2023 is to improve the #CircuitPython development experience, particularly for users. I've especially been interested in creating tools for intermediate users, as the entry/beginner experience for CircuitPython is already phenomenal - so much so that (at least in my own case) afterwards they start looking for more advanced opportunities. In 2022, I created build-mpy for allowing users to create .mpy files for their projects using GitHub Actions. I also personally created circlink as a way to develop and test user code for microcontrollers from a local repository on the computer. Additionally, moving much of the existing CI in the libraries to shared composite actions means both that there's often less patching to do when upgrades happen, and that both Adafruit and Community bundles get these improvements passively, with no opt-in required.
In 2023, I'd love to see these tools mat
