Greetings, People of the world!
It was the second last week and I pushed my last piece of code.Not sure how to tell how it felt but it was exciting and it was sad. Exciting because I did feel like I accomplished something this summer when I pushed my last piece of code but I felt sad that this program is coming to it last stage. Well, there's still a week left. I am gonna make the most out of it (By making icons tho
).
1. What did you do this week?
I worked on adding a new feature as suggested by my mentors and pushed the final code for that feature on the weekend. As per this feature, each icon gets a sharable URL and the user can copy and share the URL and anyone who follows that URL will be directed to redirected to EOS icons cheat-sheet and the Icon for which the URL was shared will be highlighted. I also started making animated icons.
2. What is coming up next?
This week I will add as many animated icons as possible to the existing icons pack.
3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
Yes I was a bit confused about what should I do, give each icon a unique sharable URL in real time or make a button to share the icon. After consulting my mentors We decided about the first option and then it all happened with ease.

Greetings, People of the world!
Last phase for choosing has begun! I'm super excited about completing the project.
1. What did you do this week?
This week I added customization feature for animated icons. And with this icon customization is complete! Though I'll be adding a few additional features which will be like a cherry on the cake.😉
2. What is coming up next?
This week I will be working on adding a new feature as suggested by my mentors. There will be a sharable URL for each icon which when followed by a user will take them to the cheatsheet and that icon will be highlighted.
3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
Yes i did. There was an issue with previewing the animated icons while editing. Majorly the problem was with showing live changes in the preview while editing. My mentors help me with this and we got amazing result!

Greetings, People of the world!
Got a little late posting this blog. Was stuck with a couple of things but didn't let that prevent me from coding.
1. What did you do this week?
So last week I worked on adding preview option that enabled user to preview all customized icons on the modal when multiple icons are customized. Along with this I made a couple of other changes in the icon editor modal according to the suggestions and inputs from my teammates and mentors.
2. What is coming up next?
This week I will be working on adding customization feature for animated icons and begin with making a couple of animated icons too.
3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
No I did not. things are going pretty smooth now on.
