Summary: GSoC with Zulip have been a very much productive and great learning experience, I'm so lucky that Zulip has selected me for this golden opportunity. Here I would also mention that this is the end of the GSoC coding period but not the end of my journey with Zulip. I'll keep contributing to Zulip as here I always get to learn new things and this community have been so helpful for me and I want to give it back as much as possible from my side. And there are so many issues which tempts me to solve them, so I'm looking forward to keeping continuing this wonderful journey.
Now coming to work I've done in GSoC period
I've worked on various projects/issues during the whole summer and my main focus during the whole period was
-
Settings subsystem: I've worked a lot on this before and during GSoC period and I'm happy that restructure is completed and pretty stable. Being specific I've worked on improving the experience to add new feature and experience of the user while enabling and changing any feature.
-
Guest user project: Here we have completed most of the backend pieces of stuff and some important frontend changes which were essential for enabling the guest user in the coming future.
In addition to this, I've worked on fixing various bugs and issues, here is the brief of this:
- Increased node-test coverage
- Some code quality related PRs
- Enabling some lint properties
- Minor and major refactor of code
- Fixed some jquery-upload related issue
- translation.js/i18n: Fixed fronted races
- INTEGRATION: Widget system issues
- INTEGRATION: Worked on experimental zgram concept
- Improving the experience with
modals - emails: Working with email bugs and helped in adding stream missed message emails
