[GSoC '22] Refine User Interfaces across PublicLab.org - Project Planning

[KarishmaVanwari]

Hi everyone!!

This is the planning issue listing down various project goals for my GSoC 2022 project "Refine User Interfaces across PublicLab.org".

My original project proposal can be found here - that includes all the various mockup designs that will be implemented during the course of this project.

I've tried to break each goal into various one-time tasks for maintaining track of progress. This is, however, a work-in-progress, so changes are expected over the duration of the project.

The discussion thread for this project is here - #11188.

Hi @KarishmaVanwari can you update us on where you are on your project right now? Midterm evaluations are coming up this week so I want to have a good understanding of where you're at, and let us know if you are stuck on anything! Thank you!

Hi @jywarren!
Apologies for a break of a few days since I had health issues and was travelling, as already informed. It took me a little while to get back on track, hence I have been off pace for quite some time.
As this planning issue shows, I have 7 subtasks under this project - of which 3 are completed as of now namely -

1. Date picker for individual tag pages (A PR is yet to be merged)
2. Refine Information Hierarchy on profile page
3. Topic tree
   Along with these, miscellaneous tasks have been completed.
   Now, as far as the project timeline is concerned, I am left with a single task to be completed - Redefine “search” and “go” in the navbar search box - PR of which I will be submitting by EOD.
