Synopsis:
This project aims at developing a reminder system wherein a user can set a timer and tag name and other information about the article like comment, date, priority, in the form of an activity list. If the user logs in and the set time has elapsed, either the reminder will flash on the screen or it will be given in the form of a notification on a separate tab on top. Additionally, user will also be able to set priority of reminders and it will also reflect in the notification menu.
Possible Mentors:
• @Mattflaschen-WMF,
• @Mooeypoo

About Me:
I have completed my engineering in Information and Technology from College of Engineering Pune. Later I was working for Computer Sciences Corporation as System Engineer.
How did you hear about Google Summer Of Code & Outreachy?:
I heard about these programs in a Debian conference held at Pune some years back, where I met students and others who had already participated in these programs. It was there I learned that GSOC and Outreachy conduct seasonal internships on Open Source projects. I developed interest in Open Source work, while working as a volunteer for FOSS activities held at my engineering college.
Will you have any time commitments,such as school work,another job,planned vacation etc,during the duration of the program?
I am currently working on an e-commerce project ,which will be completed by the end of this month. Therefore I can give my maximum attention to this project during the coming months.
Past Experience with Open Source:-
My first experience with open source began with my final year project in college. I was working on implementation of ‘Decentralized Social Networking using Diaspora in a Plug Computer’. My research work on this topic got published in the ‘International Journal of Advanced computer Research’ under topic- ‘Privacy and Security : Online Social Networks’.
