How to serve a custom HTTPS domain on GitHub Pages with CloudFlare: *FREE*, secure and performant by default

Instructions

CloudFlare is an awesome reverse cache proxy and CDN that provides DNS, free HTTPS (TLS) support, best-in-class performance settings (gzip, SDCH, HTTP/2, sane Cache-Control and E-Tag headers, etc.), minification, etc.

  1. Make sure you have registered a domain name.
  2. Sign up for CloudFlare and create an account for your domain.
  3. In your domain registrar's admin panel, point the nameservers to CloudFlare's (refer to this awesome list of links for instructions for various registrars).
  4. From the CloudFlare settings for that domain, enable HTTPS/SSL and set up a Page Rule to force HTTPS redirects. (If you want to get fancy, you can also enable automatic minification for text-based assets [HTML/CSS/JS/SVG/etc.], which is a pretty cool feature if you don't want already have a build step for minification.)
  5. If you

Audio tag editor for GNOME Music

My project for Google Summer of Code, 2016 was to implement a tag editor for songs through the GNOME Music application.

The following were my original aims when I put forward my proposal as a candidate:

  • Create a graphical frontend to enable the user to perform manual edits on atleast a single song at a time.
  • Establish a platform that fetches automatic tags for the song from a webservice and present them to the user.

I achieved both these targets although with some inconsistencies that I'll continue to work on. But more on that later. The editor has exclusively been made for editing single songs only as of now. And automatic metadata is fetched using two web services simultaneously. The design and user experience are under consideration for the current editor as well as for any future extensions.
