Reviewer Notes
The rat lines were left as it is because i connected the gyroscope with it, leaving the pin connections empty in order to not accidentaly connecting some other module with my gyroscope pins.
i ran DRC and everything looks alright.
i uploaded a firmware file and sorted some of the file into folders.

Sick devboard :D There's just 2 small problems with it though... the first one is you have a couple ratlines on your board as shown in the screenshot in your readme, so either update the screenshot, or fix those. You should be running DRC to check for any unconnected or things that are wrong with your board ;) The second thing is you're missing a quick firmware file, feel free to just make a small blink LED code or something, it doesn't need to be too complicated. Also just for the sake of having a refined project, I'd suggest organizing your repo files into folders!

Uploaded the files
Uploaded the files to GitHub and wrote the readme.md
in total this project took me nearly 24 hours. i had to completely scrap my progress of routing and then reroute because of some errors. its all fine now.

Problems
I faced some problems while routing the board, the traces keep blocking my path for the newer ones even with like 6 layers of PCB. So I'm going to copy the layout the original tutorial uses.

PCB Designing
Started working on the PCB. Placed the components and started routing on the board (it's so hard I'm genuinely tweaking)

It's my first time designing a microcontroller so I hope it works in the end.

Drawing the Schematic
I finally finished the schematic after long continuous work.
it has a 6-AXIS gyro built in too.

has an led for power indicator :D
if reviewers can spot any errors i made then please let me know.
