Contributions summary:Wills primarily contributed to enhancing the Masonry library with iOS-specific features. Their work included adding and testing an "inset" property to the constraint system, which allows for easier edge-based layout adjustments. They also implemented support for `safeAreaLayoutGuide`, a crucial feature for modern iOS development, and provided a demo to showcase the feature. These changes suggest a focus on improving the library's compatibility and usability within the iOS ecosystem.
