From suggesting new features to helping troubleshoot issues, it's time to see who are the top goose community stars for January 2026!

- Rabi: Rabi's work significantly improved provider reliability, added major streaming features, and enhanced code execution capabilities. Thank you so much, Rabi! - Yorisoft: Yelsin’s contributions spanned provider fixes, desktop UI improvements, and documentation changes. Thank you!

- @r0x0d: Rodolfo’s contributions made it easier to package goose and reduce technical debt. Thank you for your hard work! - Sheikh Limon: Sheikh’s contributions improved the user experience on Mac, and made the CLI more resilient. Thank you for your effort! Thank you so much for contributing!

We teamed up with @MCPJams to share everything we learned building MCP Apps. Here's some tips that would've saved us hours: → Adapt to host themes → Control what the model sees → Handle loading states properly → Keep the model in sync → Restrict who can trigger tools Link to blog in the thread 👇
