1) Adding Notification Feature

This was my main objective.
I have added/modified the following things while implementing this feature:

  • Added a new model Alert to store/handle different types of notifications.
  • Added supporting functions for Alert Model for common use like group alerts, mark alerts seen, and many more.
  • Modifying existing APIs to generate new alerts.
  • Creating API endpoints to send alerts and mark them as seen.
  • Adding a Notification Modal in the frontend and integrating it with the backend.
    Here is it's PR.

2) Added Floating Alert

This is the complementary feature to the notification feature. Here the user will get a floating alert on the right side screen to alert them of new alerts.
Here is it's PR

3) Mute Notification

This is the complementary feature to the notification feature. Here the user will have the power to mute notifications for a particular blog.

Future Scope

I certainly feel that my contributions have added a major feature that this project was missing. Making this project better and more robust. In the future, I would look forward to seeing the following feature:

  • Push Notification.
  • Notification Sound.
  • Missed Notification Email.
    I am also even looking forward to work on some of them.

Overall Experience

I had an enriching and exciting winter of 2020, working on this project under the Winter of Code program. I learned a lot while working on this project. WoC was a magnificent and memorable experience for me.
