VDG application design sprint?

[Nate Graham]

Very interested!

Ever since the GNOME folks created Libadwaita, I feel like their 
3rd-party app ecosystem has really taken off, and it seems like 
something they put a lot of planning and foresight into making happen. 
In KDE land we have a lot of 1st-party apps but not as much on the 
3rd-party side, and I'd like for us to have an equally compelling story 
there. I think the design, HIG, and UX perspectives--both user and 
developer--are key to making this happen, and a VDG sprint would be the 
perfect place to discuss those topics.
