For this project, I worked on adding more functionality and improve the overall design of Analysim. Currently, AnalySim is a Web-based data sharing platform that is similar to GitHub, but specialized for scientific projects. It seeks to simplify the analysis and visualization of datasets.
There are two main goals for this project:
- Add forking/cloning functionality to Analysim.
- Design and implement a new look to Analysim pages via bootstrap and CSS/HTML.
- Added forking/cloning functionality
- Added frontend button
- Copy existing project from the original author
- Added forked project to current user's dashboard
- Added frontend reference to original project for forked projects
- Added reference to original project for forked projects in the database - Redesigned front end architecture
- Designed new theme/graphics for Analysim
- Implemented new design for Home Page, Login Page, Register Page and ContactUs Page - Heroku Migration
- Migrated users' data from ElephantSQL to Heroku Database
- Successfully deployed Analysim to Heroku

This project was a great learning experience for me because I got a better understanding of the development process of open source programs and how to contribute to these programs. I also got to talk to a previous developer and learned more about current coding conventions and standards, and then apply the knowledge I learned to the code that I produced. My mentors were wonderful and helped guided me through difficult challenges while also encouraging me to think of new ideas.
