my second blog post for Google Summer of Code 2023, where I will share what I accomplished during the GSoC-23 community bonding period.
Community Bonding period During this time GSoC contributors spend 3 weeks learning about their organization’s community and preparing for their coding project. They get to know mentors, read documentation, get up to speed to begin working on their projects
During the community bonding period, the organizers took two introductory sessions kick starting our journey.
I have a few blog posts planned, but the one I wanted to post involving KDE color schemes isn’t finished yet (it’s enormous and tedious). So instead, today I’m showing you how simple it is to compile Kirigami with Qt6 so you can start playing with it ahead of time.
Kirigami, KDE’s library that extends QtQuick, is a Tier 1 KDE Framework. The cool thing about it is that it has effectively no dependency on any KDE libraries.

During the Google Summer of Code timeline, I will be working on implementing the admin APIs in Tokodon. These APIs will provide mastodon moderators with a suite of moderation tools within Tokodon. I would like to thank Carl Schwan ❤ for mentoring me during Season of KDE and once again for this project. I am really grateful to work under his guidance.
Recently I started using KTimeTracker to record the time I spent working, and I really like it. So far it’s the only productivity app that meets my needs. So I began playing with porting it to Qt6.
I’m weak with algorithms, but I know my way with building programs. I made a long fluff post about compilation, even. So I was feeling confident that I would make at least some progress.
tionalities of Tokodon’s Main Timeline. This is a continuation of my previous blog post where I shared my mid-journey experience while being a Season of KDE mentee.
Week 7-8: These weeks were spent testing interaction buttons and different types of statuses. My first task was to write a test for boost, favourite, and bookmark interaction buttons in Tokodon to see if they worked as intended. For this, I identified the behaviour of different buttons using accerciser and then added the missing accessibility description for the respective buttons.
