***This proposal's final 2 milestones are being repurposed for Feather wallet***

What

32 hours a week for 3 months. My last proposal was the first where I was able to dedicate fulltime attention to Monero. Thus, past 3 months has seen substantial improvements to the GUI. For example, all points from this issue have been resolved or at least improved upon.

Who
