Greetings, People of the world!
This was last week before the second evaluation and this week has also been amazing.
1. What did you do this week?
This week, I worked on a change my mentors suggested. Earlier when a user downloaded a customized icon, a zip file was created when it is downloaded. So as per suggestion I will be making changes so the icon is downloaded directly in the image format selected. This was for the single icons. Later I also added the feature to customize multiple icons. And now a user can customize and download multiple icons . The customization remains same for all icons. I also made a couple of animated icons.
2. What is coming up next?
This week I will work on adding preview option to preview all customized icons on the modal when multiple icons are customized. And then I plan to begin with animated icon customization support. Means after that feature, customization will be available for animated icons too.
3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
No I did not.

Greetings, People of the world!
This week was full of learning. Like seriously I learnt a lot this week specially because I got stuck on something which took me while to figure out.
1. What did you do this week?
This week I added the feature to download customized single icon in PNG format. Along with the image format, the user can also select different sizes of the customized PNG after this feature.
2. What is coming up next?
This week, I will be working on a change my mentors suggested. Right now when a user downloads a customized icon, a zip file is created when it is downloaded. So as per suggestion I will be making changes so the icon is downloaded directly in the image format selected.
3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
Yes like I said earlier, I did. The problem was with the icons picker API. The async behaviour was causing a problem when I was making png files from svg and zipping them. But eventually after a lot of researching and trying out different ways it was solved

Greeting, People of the world!
Our first evaluation took place last week and guess what? I passed it!!! Well, I am pretty excited and happy about it. 
1. What did you do this week?
I built the modal for colour customization for a single icon and did little edits here and there. Now it works perfectly.
2. What is coming up next?
This week, I will be implementing logic for icon rotation in icons picker API and also added buttons for rotation on the icons editing Modal.
3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
Yes, a little when a few icons were not getting customized. Well, it was because of their SVG file having a style tag. This issue was resolved with the help of my mentors.

Greetings, People of the world!
Fourth week of GSOC was slightly different than what I wanted it to be like. My struggle with a stable internet connection and area lockdown due to COVID19 precautionary measures were just too overwhelming , Though its been a while with this struggle but things were at a peak this week and I couldnt make a PR until saturday when things calmed a little. And that was a slight relief.
1. What did you do this week?
This week I added colour customization and SVG download after customisation feature in the Icons picker API. Along with this I got all the use cases reviewed so I can start working on the features on a better planned manner. I wanted to added more features but things around weren't going as planned.
2. What is coming up next?
This week I will first complete the Front end for the previously added customisation feature in icons picker API and then work on adding flip and rotate on the APi and build the Front end for the same simultaneously.
3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
Yes I did but, I got stuck with things around me rather than getting stuck with anything related to GSOC. Though I will try to give my best, now that I feel I really need to push my limits and not let anything affect my GSOC journey.
