My Contributions

As a member of Loklak team in this GSoC, I primarily worked on loklak_wok_android, the peer harvester of Loklak server. I replaced the old Processing.org's applet with RecyclerView to show the harvested tweets. Apart from harvesting tweets, the app contains the following features:

  • Tweet search suggestions
  • Tweet searching of different categories (images and videos)
  • Tweet posting with images

I also contributed to loklak_scraper_js project which is a set of scrapers written in NodeJS to scrape social media websites like Twitter, Quora, Reddit etc. The aim of the project is to serve a single source of scrapers for every Loklak platform. I used the twitter scraper from this library to harvest tweets in Loklak Wok Android.

My contributions also include reimplementing Loklak APIs in Java -loklak-jlib-api - using Reflections in Java. It takes only a single line to add a support for new API endpoint in the library, thus easy to maintain the source code.
