@Nabhel thanks for picking up this issue. I have a video here that might help you understand custom plans a bit more and Goose a bit more. i would start it at 5:03 minutes to skip the rest of the stuff that I talk about https://www.canva.com/design/DAGWg-PfVmM/xoNC2AeMqsrsIpCfifw6xA/watch

Kind reminder that Loose Goose November ends November 20 at 11:59 pm ET, so if you wanted to be eligible for prizes, you only have a few hours left, but if you just want to work on this for fun after the deadline then let me know!

@blackgirlbytes Thank you for the video tutorial you shared, it really helped me watched it over and over to understand how to run goose. Although I'm not sure I can make it for any prizes, I want to keep working on some of the open issue to learn and get better at contributing. Thank you.
