Just a compilation of some GNOME Shell extensions which add collapsible indicators in the Gnome top bar that I have made for my personal machine and that might be useful to adapt for someone else.
These have been built using the nice API provided by p-e-w's Argos project, which provides an easy-to-use API (via Python or Bash scripts) to avoid the need for direct interaction with the ever-changing JavaScript API of GNOME.
The pyproject.toml file specifies the Python dependencies of the project. Each different extension might have different
needs, but since they were basically completely overlapping, I just generated a single environment. In case you don't want
to use poetry, the basic dependencies to be able to run the extensions are:
pandasrequestsplotnine
This extension accesses Gitlab and Github's APIs in an authenticated manner (you need to generate some access tokens in order to be able to access your private repos), and provides an easy collapsible indicator that fetches your recently active repos in both sites and gives quick links to access the main repo, their issues, or the Pages/Homepage of the project.

This extension depends on Nightscout, which acts as a database and dashboard of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) readings and which has a queryable API.
In this indicator I fetch the values for the last 4 hours, display the last value with an arrow to indicate the current trend of glucose and when hovering it displays a figure with the evolution of the values for the last 4 hours:
