GSoC Weekly Checkin

Hello everyone!
What did I do this week?
This was the last week of GSoC. I fixed some previous code and some errors with the Icons-picker API. Right now I am working to add Animated Icons support for the Icons Picker. The back-end part of it is done, so if an API request is made with Animated icons name in the JSON, the custom font will have only those icons. Now I have to implement the use of API and Animated icons selector in front end.
Also, this week I submitted the final evaluation. This is the link that have all the project contributions I made: https://github.com/kbhutani0001/GSoC-2019-report/blob/master/README.md
What is coming up next week?
Nothing :'(
GSoC ends next week. But I will still keep contributing to EOS and other open source projects
Did I get stuck anywhere?
Yes, in the front end of Animated icons selector, the animated icons are written in css so they are inheriting other CSS too. That caused a bit of a problem.
Till next time,
Cheers!

Hello everyone!
This week is the second last week and next week we will have our final evaluations. This week I just fixed and improved my previous code.
The other student was working on the Icons cheatsheet and after he completed it, I used some of his components and used them in my code too so that the UI looks consistent. Also the API was having some issues with custom font generation so I am currently working on that.
Thanks for reading
Cheers!

Hello everyone!
What did I do this week?
After the Front end was connected, we noticed some bugs with the API. It wasn't working due to some packages that were not being installed in heroku. So we added an Apt file for that. Once that being done, I added extended icons version support for Icons Picker so that there are lots of icons to choose from.
What is coming up next week?
Next week I have to implement some features like, auto download after some time interval, loading animation etc.
Did I get stuck anywhere?
The only problem was figuring out why the API wasn't working right which we did take some good time.
Till next time,
Cheers!

Hello everyone,
In week 9, My front end changes to connect the EOS-icons with backend API was merged and it is live at https://eos-icons.eosdesignsystem.com/extended/icons-picker.html
But after this another GSoC student merged his code and some issues were happening and some part of front end seems to be broken due to inherited styling. The good thing is all the features are working and the UI looks pretty smooth too.

Hello everyone!
Second Evaluations are over and passed it with a great feedback.
What did I do this week?
This week after everyone approved the new Icons Picker page, I made its front end and and connected it with the API. The front end part is completed and I am still working on a bit of JS to for more functionality and connecting it with the API I made.
What is coming up next week?
My project is almost completed. Next week we plan to test it and improve User Experience. Meanwhile, I wait for other student to complete his part of project so that I can implement components of my project to it.
Did I get stuck anywhere?
Not much, but some linter errors gave me a really hard time.
Till next time,
Cheers!
