GSoC 2021 Work Product Description for Hydrogen
Hi 👋,
This blog post provides a summary of my net contributions to Hydrogen during the 10 wonderful weeks that were GSoC ‘21.
Expected deliverables
The general intention of my project was to build a right-panel with various
information that could be accessed via the room-menu.
More specifically, the goals were to implement:
- Room Information Panel
- Memberlist Panel
- Member Information Panel
Share Room ViewSingle Sign-On
My mentor (Bruno) correctly suggested that I attempt to implement SSO instead because that had greater utility.
Deliverables successfully delivered
- Room Information Panel (#365)
Shows room avatar, encryption status, current member count. - Memberlist Panel (#395, #404)
- Sorts alphabetically taking powerlevels into account
- Disambiguates users with same display name
- Lazy renders items
- Updates in place
- Member Information Panel (#412, #417,
#432, #447)
Shows member avatar, name, powerlevel and provides a matrix.to invite link to that member. - Single Sign-On (#453)
Allows users to sign-in to supported homeservers using their existing credentials from other platforms (eg. Github).
Other Contributions
- Implemented functionality to render URLs as clickable links (feature request #246) (#345, 356).
- Replaced ellipsis character for room menu with an actual svg icon (#369).
- Fixed issues #402, #397, #218, #269.
Things Left To Do
- Merge lazy-list enhancement PR
