Orcasound is an organization that allows users to listen live for Orcas. My goal for this GSoC was to build their new content site using next.js which is currently hosted on WordPress. Since Orcasound is an open-source organization contributing to the content page was pretty limited and by migrating technologies it can become more open-source while becoming more UX friendly.
- Front End application in the form of a website with a simple user interface for the users to interact with and get involved.
- UX designs that were implemented in the Redesign.
- Orcasound repo hosted live on Netlify.
- Alongside the UX team created a UI interface to rebuild the new site.
- Tested the UI interface in usability studies.
- Set up Next.JS and begin building on it.
- Set up a repo on GitHub for Orcahome.
- Blog post for phase 1(https://www.orcasound.net/2021/08/05/using-next-js-to-build-orcasound-content-site/)
- Finish Working on the Home, About, Get Involved, and Learn Page
- Optimize the website for Mobile
- Added dependencies(react-bootstrap,material-UI, and react audio player)and change the next-config to accept audio files.
- Open PR to fix styling issues (https://github.com/orcasound/orcahome/pull/7/commits)
- Blog post for phase 2 (https://www.orcasound.net/2021/07/15/my-experience-as-a-frontend-developer-at-orcasound-for-gsoc/)
- Chose Netlify for deployment and as a CMS.(https://deploy-preview-7--orcahome.netlify.app/)
- The previous Branch called v3-redesign got merged into the Master Branch(https://github.com/orcasound/orcahome)
- Started working on a New Page developed by the UX team the Donate Page.
