GSOC 2017 Work Product - Achint Sharma - FOSSASIA

GSoC17_Work_AchintSharma.md

I have contributed to three repositories in GSoC 2017 for FOSSASIA in the loklak project. My project was mostly on development of loklak_media wall. A aasdMy contributions to both (commits and the PRs / issues I created) have been listed below:

1. Loklak Search:

• All commits by me: Link
• Everything assigned to me (issues and my PRs): Link

Outcome of contributions:

• Loklak Search now provides a different view for the search results as a Media Wall.
• Media Wall provides different color options. Alongside, Media Wall provides various customization options for the user.
• Media Wall is auto-refreshing and provides live feeds from the twitter.
• Coverage of the loklak search has improved. Implemented tests for most of the components and ngrx tools.
• Loklak Search also provide advanced search options i.e. Media Filters.

2. Loklak Server:

• All commits by me: Link
• Everything created by me (issues and my PRs): Link

Outcome of contributions:

• Previously, feeds returned from the API had unnecessary pic.twitter.com/picId links attached t the tweet text. Now, tweet text returned from the API have only relevant text.

2. Loklak Scrapers JavaScript:

• All commits by me: Link
• Everything created by me (issues and my PRs): Link

Outcome of contributions:

• I added flickr Scraper to the scrapers library.

All of these features have been implemented and working well, and I'd love more contributors in this area.

My daily scrum updates (i.e updates on what I worked on everyday) can be found here.

I also regularly posted on the FOSSASIA blog. All my blog posts can be found here.

Hope to have more developers joining loklak and contributing to our work. Thanks!
