Weekly Updates on Weekly Digest

[abhijeetps]

Hey all! 👋

I am Abhijeet Singh. A pre-final year CSE undergrad at IIIT Trichy, India.

This April, I got selected asStudent Developer at Probot in Google Summer of Code. 😄 I would like to thanks @bkeepers , @gr2m , @JasonEtco , @wilhelmklopp and the awesome Probot community for giving me this opportunity.

So, this summer, my major task here is to develop a Weekly Digest application for GitHub.

In this locked issue, I will be sharing weekly updates on my progress.

Please feel free to share any ideas, suggestions, updates, etc., by creating an issue for it or discussing about it in #contributors in Slack!

Week 1 (14th May - 20th May)

The official coding period started from 14th May, but due to my unavailability for the first week of coding period, I had started basics of my work during the community bonding period itself.

So far, during the community bonding period and after that, I had two meetings with my mentors @gr2m and @wilhelmklopp. They guided me how should I approach towards building the application and how I should work on it.

During this time, I made some small commits, opened a few PRs and Issues and received initial responses from the mentors. @bkeepers also tweeted a tweet about the features that the users want during the community bonding period and we receive a few responses.

I have created an initial milestone and I am currently working on it. Will be adding new features via adding milestones. @wilhelmklopp shared an interesting idea of using MoSCoW method. I will be using it in the future as the project grows.

Stay tuned for the Week 2 update. 😄

Week 2 (21st May - 27th May)

This week had been really exciting for me. I now can see where the app is heading to! 🛩

Here's a summary of my progress made this week:.

Progress made so far:

• Added issues.getForRepo(), pullRequests.getAll(), issues.create() and issues.createLabel().
• Added repos.compareCommits() method also, haven't used it in the app though.
• Created formatted Markdown methods for Contributors, Issues and Pull Requests
• Here's a sample Weekly Digest generated by Weekly Digest app: https://github.com/aps120797/playground/issues/15

What I am planning to do by next week?

• Use probot-scheduler in Weekly Digest
• Pick data only of last week.
• Other events and their markdowns?

Future Plans

• GraphQL?

That's all for Week 2. Stay tuned for Week 3 updates. 😃
