Week 7 Highlights (12/06/2024 - 18/06/2024)


This week was a whirlwind of activity, marked by significant progress on multiple milestones and a strong focus on addressing feedback and delivering high-quality code.

M1.3 Triumph:

  • I'm thrilled to announce the creation of the M1.3 PR (https://github.com/oppia/oppia/pull/20457) on June 12th! This milestone represents a major accomplishment, marking the completion of the CTA section with all its components.

Collaboration and Iteration:

  • Demonstrating my commitment to continuous improvement, I diligently addressed comments on both M1.2 and M1.3 throughout the week. This collaborative approach ensures my work aligns with the team's vision and addresses any potential issues.
  • The latter part of the week saw me tackling failing tests related to M1.3. Successfully resolving these tests ensures the functionality and stability of the newly implemented features.

M1.4 Progress:

  • Eager to move forward, I dived into M1.4. I began working on the "features" section, delving into its implementation details.
  • While addressing M1.3 comments, I also allocated time to explore aspects of M1.4, like acceptance tests. This multitasking demonstrates my ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.

Test-Driven Development:

  • My commitment to robust code is reflected in my focus on writing tests for M1.4 on June 16th. This test-driven development approach helps to identify and fix bugs early in the development process.

M1.4 PR and Beyond:

  • I set a clear and achievable goal for myself: to open a PR for M1.4 by June 17th. This involved completing tasks like writing new i18n keys, removing obsolete ones, and managing images.

Exceeding Expectations:

  • Not only did I open the M1.4 PR (likely on June 17th), but I also addressed all outstanding comments on both M1.3 and M1.4. This dedication to addressing feedback ensures a smooth review process and a high-quality codebase.

Early Steps on M1.5:

  • My proactive approach is evident in my initial work on the navbar changes for M1.5, demonstrating my eagerness to tackle the next set of milestones.
  • Additionally, I modified acceptance tests involving the About foundation page, further solidifying the testing infrastructure for the project.

Looking Ahead:

  • With M1.3 nearing completion and a strong start made on M1.4, I'm excited to see the progress on both PRs.
  • I'm confident that my focus on collaboration, test-driven development, and exceeding expectations will continue to drive project success.

Week 2

Week 3 Highlights (08/05/2024 - 14/05/2024) The week - 2  was all about finalizing my GSoC proposal and laying the groundwork for development. Having already received a tech lead review and resolved most issues during the pre-GSoC period with my mentor’s assistance, I focused on addressing minor changes to finalize my proposal. These changes included: Specifying the Lighthouse suites for which I aim to achieve a perfect score of 1.0. Providing a sample implementation for tracking the event ‘A user viewed the XYZ page for the first time within a week/month’ using Google Analytics. Finalizing the donor box form after insightful discussions with the design team and Team Lead. In addition to these tasks, I engaged in conversations with the Design team for minor UI modifications and the Partnerships team for document management. I held two additional meetings with my mentor to address the remaining comments on my proposal, ensuring its clarity and completeness. Finally I created feature...
