[Manraj Grover]

Hi,

I am Manraj Singh Grover (https://github.com/ManrajGrover), currently in 3rd year, B.E., Netaji Subhas Institute Of Technology, Delhi University. My skillset include C++, C, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Php, Python and have worked on Open Source projects of my own as well as contributed to and fixed bugs/issues of organizations like Mozilla FireFox( https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/manrajsingh/ ) and jQuery. I have also worked on and currently maintaining one of my own Open Source Chrome Extension for GeeksForGeeks.org.(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/geekit/fbbpfmfobkcdfcninfpanleekcjbdkin). I am a good competitive programmer being in Top 1000 on CodeChef(http://www.codechef.com/users/manrajsingh) and O(logN) on Hackerrank(https://www.hackerrank.com/manrajsingh). I have internship experience with companies like Refiral and Soinnet with developing backend and tools to enhance their business and making sharing easy using Google APIs, Php and MySQL.

I was going through the ideas list mentioned here(https://github.com/privly/privly-organization/wiki/Ideas) and idea of Injectable App API for Host Pages interested me.

I went through its issues page( https://github.com/privly/privly-applications/issues/162 ) but couldn't find much information. I would like to know more about this feature and discuss this further as my GSoC project.

I am currently in the process of completing levels mentioned here.

Hi Manraj,

Welcome!

I added a comment to the GitHub issue outlining the problems we hope
this project will address.

Best,
Sean

Hi sir,

I have completed "levels" with few things here and there left. I would now like to work on few bugs/issues so as to get the feel of source code. I have gone through the comment on the GitHub issue and starting a discussion on how to go about and brainstorm the idea. Please suggest me some good first bugs. Thank you.

[Sean McGregor]

Manraj,

I may have missed it since we have a pile of pull requests at the
moment, but have you opened PRs on all of the levels? In particular,
for this project I think it is important to write a few integration
tests before a proposal will be considered. Perhaps a good place to
start would be adding an integration test for one of the many websites
that are not in this file [0].

Best,
Sean

Hi sir,

I didn't get you. We need to open pull request on each level? I didn't know that. May I know for what should I submit one?

Also sir, the link for Integration Testing in Level 2 (https://priv.ly/pages/develop#Testing) does not point anywhere. I guess it should be changed to https://priv.ly/pages/develop#IntegrationTesting .

Should I open a PR for the link mentioned by you after making changes for another site and testing?

Sorry for the typo. I meant Level 3.

[Sean McGregor]

Manraj,

Submitting pull requests at all the levels is not a requirement, but
it demonstrates to the mentors that you understand the architecture
and will use a test-driven approach to development.

You can open a pull request against the development guide here:

Hi sir,

I have given an outline of the idea on the issue page. Please go through it and let me know if I am missing anything as I am completing my proposal. Thank you.
