- Implement functionalities onto Discourse
- Get good with the platform
- Detailed statement of tasks done. State each task, hurdles faced if any and how you solved the hurdle. You need to clearly mark whether the hurdles were solved with the help of training webinars, some help from project leads or significant help from project leads.
- Completed tasks assigned to me in Asana. These tasks were aimed to help us get familiar with the technology by assigning us to write loops in Ruby and making a basic web layout design.
- Shared my design idea of the project
- Made a Foodlist and review page using React js for the frontend and Django for the backend. This was a demo for the functionality that I would be implementing on Discourse. Since I am still in the process of learning React js in my spare time, I faced some problems with the syntax. I overcame most of my problems by googling.
- Practiced making themes in Discourse by watching videos shared by the Pathway Lead and Team Lead. The videos helped me understand how the whole process worked.
