Hi @lucifercr07 ,

I wanted to reach out regarding the issues I was assigned. Despite my efforts, I’m finding it challenging to make progress on them. Additionally, I have a busy period at my full-time job coming up and won’t be able to dedicate the time needed for the next couple of weeks.

I think it would be best for me to unassign these issues so someone else can take them on. Thank you for understanding, and I hope to contribute again in the future!
