Port Kiwix-js web extension to React
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Kiwix-js extension is an offline wikipedia reader extension available across all major browsers. It's a great wikipedia extension and I see great potential in it. I want to hence propose this project for GSOC 2019 and become a long term contributor in it to make wikipedia super usefull at all times.

Suggestions are welcomed from everyone.
It would be awesome to hear from @srishakatux about the status of it being acceptable or not.

Tasks to be done:

  • Port current Js/Jquery/html syntax to Jquey. This alone would solve tons of issues regarding porting to vanilla JS and issues with JS overall.
  • Improving Documentation. Generating well formed documentation would be must. I propose something like JSDocs.
  • Adding 90%+ test coverage

@Himanshuc3: Hi, could you please point to a discussion with the Kiwix community?
I have only found https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js/issues/367 from a quick look?

@Himanshuc3 What is this task's status? Did you get a chance to speak with Kiwix maintainers about whether this would be a useful integration for their project?
