I am an enthusiastic developer and love to code. I started learning development after the 2nd semester with the basic knowledge of C, C++, and competitive coding. Later after exploring CP, Coding, Hackathons, and development, I found my interest in designing websites is much higher than in other fields. Hence, I decided to brush up on my front-end development skills.

I have experience with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, Jquery, and Figma to create responsive websites. I am willing to explore and learn more in the tech field. My motive is to add something meaningful to the tech community.

I am contributing for the first time to open source. I have tried my level best to submit the useful UI for the Infragram. I will be glad if you review it, it will be helpful for me to improve my mistakes.

I have done free boot camps and learned more about front-end development from the Udemy courses to perfect my designing and front-end developer skills.

I am currently a part of my college coding club and GDSC IIEST. Also, volunteered in mentoring kids and friends in my surrounding, who want to opt for STEM fields as their careers and share my knowledge and resources with them for the improvement of the community.

Project description

Designing a new full-screen user interface for Infragram.org

The Infragram project brings together a range of different efforts to make Do-It-Yourself plant health comparisons possible with infrared photography. Infragram.org enables people with Infragram-modified cameras to upload photos for analysis and conversion using techniques like NDVI (used in satellite imaging analysis). It also allows for live streaming from a modified webcam. This project will overhaul the UI of Infragram to be full-screen and create space for new features like multiple resolutions of video, dragging in a recorded video instead of a still image for conversion, and pop up panels with Q&A, tips, tutorials, and more, so that they can feature more helpful guidance text.

Abstract/summary (<20 words):

To create and implement a new and improved full-screen UI for Infragram.

Problem

Poor UI of Infragram Home page. It does not have a proper layout and there are so many hyperlinks added in between the paragraph.

As a user, it's difficult to understand the UI in one go. It's like messing up everything on a single page with no proper sections, it also does not contain proper information about how the website work, for what it is used.

There are many hyperlinks that land up on the same page and few of them are not found.

Poor CSS styling like font size, font style, color combination, and minimal use of Bootstrap. Lack of responsiveness in the website while switching from Laptop to mobile.

Double scroll bar in the QnA section.

The header section lacks quick links to the website.

The Footer section is not clearly defined.

Below is the current UI of the Infragram:

.

What problem(s) does your project solve?

To sort all these problems, I have designed a wireframe of the website that is easy to understand by the users.

Made Proper division of the sections with the appropriate layout.

Also, the links are added in the proper place and in a specific order. Repeated and not found page links are removed. So that users can understand easily and click accordingly.

1. This screenshot contains the navbar and the analyzing section:

Navbar:

-> Logo is something that depicts an image of what the website/product/company means.

As Infragram is related to plant photography, here is my logo proposal:

and

-> Clicking over the logo or the Infragram(label), we return to the home page.

-> Navbar will be static, as you hover over the nav links it will change its color.

-> Navlinks will direct to the respective sections on the website.

-> Question mark icon is for the help menu, which will direct to a new page.

-> Moon icon is to enable the dark mode. If you are in dark mode then it will show the sun icon, which is to enable the light mode.

-> Dark mode has a different background, icons, and text color.

Body section(Analyze your photos):

-> This section will have a background image. Its background image will have 2 parts, one is the actual/original photo and the other one is the photo after analyzing the first photo through Infragram.

I want to create the background change effect using the sliding option. So that user can see the difference between the actual photo and the one which is passed through the Infragram camera by sliding the circle in the horizontal direction.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7kmaWcMJBY&t=26s (similar to this)

-> Then there is a little description of what Infragram does.

-> There are two buttons, one is for directing users to the Infragram camera page (i.e. https://infragram.org/sandbox/index.html) and another one is to direct them to the DIY filter pack/Mooded camera (i.e. https://store.publiclab.org/products/infragram-diy-filter-pack).

-> First button will be highlighted, as to grab the user's attention to our Infragram camera.

-> Buttons will be styled with a hover effect, and appropriate boxing, and when the dark mode is enabled the color of the button will be changed.

2. This screenshot contains the Information part (About us):

-> Here I added the cover flow carousel effect with slide-changing icons. In these slides, I added answers to the questions like, What is Infragram? , How does it work? , Why do we need it? , adding information like it's open-source, you can report bugs with the respective button ( links ) at the bottom of the slide, similar to the "Learn more" button.

-> Also about the near-infrared camera, multispectral imaging, and balloon mapping with their respective Wikipedia link buttons at the bottom.

-> "Learn more" button will direct to the Wikipedia of the Infragram (i.e. https://publiclab.org/wiki/infragram).

-> Also we can add some pictures which will show the difference between the Grey, RGB, and HSV types in the Infragram camera.

-> Sliding changing icons are there on the leftmost and the rightmost side for changing the slides.

3. This screenshot contains the Gallery section:

-> The button at the top of the gallery section will direct users to the page which will contain all the images that are uploaded by contributors or the saved images. Hovering over the button will change the color of the button.

-> I have taken care of all the hyperlinks, present in both the image section on the current website, and added all the links where needed. Removed the repeated and not found page links.

-> Next comes to the photo layout, Hovering upon the image will give users a bit enlarged image than the previous, and clicking on the image will land users on that particular image page.

-> Similarly, clicking on the caption of the image will direct to the same page, i.e. that specific image page.

-> Clicking on the username will direct users to the username profile page.

-> Hovering over the eye icon will show the total number of views.

-> Hovering over the heart icon will show the total number of likes and clicking on it will add one like for that image from the user side.

-> Last is the comment icon, hovering over it will show the total number of comments. Clicking on the comment icon will direct users to that particular image page.

-> Only 8 images will be shown on the website and those 8 images will be according to the highest number of likes on that image.

4. This screenshot contains the FAQ section:

-> The "view more" button at the top of the FAQ section will direct users to the page which will contain all the questions. Hovering over the button will change the color of the button.

-> Bell icon is for the subscription page (i.e. https://publiclab.org/subscriptions). Hovering over it will show the text "Subscribe".

-> Then the question bar is there, clicking on the bar will lead users to that particular question page. Also hovering over it will enlarge the bar a little bit.

-> In the last of the FAQ section, there is a "Ask a question" button which will direct users to the question posting page (i.e. https://publiclab.org/questions/new?tags=question:infragram,infragram&template=question&title=How do I...&redirect=question).

-> Only the 4 most liked questions will be there on the main page, the rest of the questions are on the page which will be directed through the "View More" button.

5. This screenshot contains the Footer section:

-> The heading "Infragram by Public Lab" in the footer section should depict the purpose of this website, for this reason, I added the camera icon and the leaf icon which depict that this website is related to plant photography. Clicking upon the "Infragram" will direct users to the top of the page and Clicking on the Public Lab will direct users to the public lab website (i.e. https://publiclab.org/dashboard). Hovering on the words will change the color of the text to indicate to the users that the word is a clickable text.

-> Then comes the social handles, these icons will direct users to the Infragram social media pages according to the icons. The hover effect is there in these icons, hovering on it will show the social media name above the icon and the icon will change its color.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETvRZgrcFj8&list=LL&index=8&t=124s (similar to this)

Experience

Tell us how you've learned about writing software; what languages you've been learning, if you've worked on other projects, links to GitHub or other code repositories, or samples.

I started learning coding after my 2nd semester. Initially, I learned C than C++, STL, OOPs, and Data Structures and Algorithms. I started learning web development out of curiosity and interest, precisely front-end development. I am quite familiar with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, and Jquery. Also GIT, Github, and version control that has given me an insight into open-source.

This is the first time I am contributing to a real-world open-source project. The experience so far has been awesome. I feel passionate about programming and web development because of the amount of power it gives me to turn an idea into a reality. I had put all my efforts into making myself a better developer. And with the increase in my knowledge and learning, my love for programming has also increased.

Since I am from a mechanical engineering background, I did not get an opportunity in college to get exposure to the computer science field and coding. Although I had an immense interest in learning coding, web development, and designing. So, I started acquiring knowledge from various online resources, and I am grateful for all guidance that is available online. I consider the combination of the internet and education an incredible opportunity for those who are ready to go the extra mile, in scaling themselves up.

Some soft skills about me:

-> I am an attentive learner. Need a lesser amount of time to understand a complex code or to implement something new that I have never done before.

-> I have brilliant Googling skills. Therefore, I can usually find my way out of problems.

-> I am good at managing time, so I can easily devote 50+ hours each week to complete the tasks that I mentioned in the timeline.

I have made various projects to improve my skills and participated in various hackathons to implement my skills practically to solve real-life problems.

I worked on a team of four to build a game named Dumcharades (https://github.com/Ishhha/Virtual-Game). I worked as a front-end developer and designed the UI components.

I made a Credit Card validator (https://github.com/Ishhha/credit-card-validator) using C++ which checks whether the card number entered by the user is a valid credit card number or not.

---

Teamwork

Describe teams you've worked with before, whether the open or closed source and in what capacity you participated. Cite examples of how you were self-motivated and self-sufficient.

Working together means success, so I firmly believe in teamwork. Open-source has provided me an opportunity to learn in a community and collaborate, which is a blessing for me to improve myself.

I love to participate in various hackathons and events and coordinate with people to exchange different ideas and opinions. I have also been a part of various workshops and events held at the college as a participant. I mentor and teach five unprivileged children, guide and motivate them to opt for STEM as their career options, and also provide my resources and study material to them so that they could not feel that they don't get ample opportunities due to their background or financial conditions. I worked in a team of four on a game, I mentioned in the experience section.

While working in a team or a group or a community, I realize and is important too that all members should be treated equally so that the conflicts can be resolved immediately. Also, I had an amazing experience working with the public lab community during my contribution period and I'll continue contributing to this wonderful community. I am glad to be a part of this collaborative community.

---

Passion

What about our projects, and Public Lab, interests you? What are you passionate about? Open science, environmental justice?

I choose this project as it aligns well with my interests and also matches my skill set and the work that I have done in past. This project provides a good opportunity to apply my learning on a practical scale.

Being a plant lover, this project is connected with my feelings. Protecting and analyzing plant health in their surrounding is everyone's responsibility towards nature and Public Lab made it easier, affordable, and accessible with the scientific tool (Infragram). The idea of the Infragram fascinates me a lot.

I appreciate the way the Public Labs community welcomes newcomers and first-time contributors in open-source. The community members are kind and helpful. What I liked the most during my contribution period is they praised newcomers and contributors for taking baby steps (small steps) that give a motivation to work more with positive energy.

I have been an enthusiastic developer, passionate about coding and web development, and always loved the concept of open source and wanted to contribute to it. Outreachy provides a good platform to dive right into the middle of open source development with the opportunity to work on big open-source projects with the core developers. This makes me excited and eager to participate in it.

Audience

Whom do you want your work to help? We especially appreciate proposals that make technologies and techniques more welcoming and friendly to those who've often been excluded.

This project will benefit a vast number of people from scientific experts, organic farmers, researchers researching vegetation, and wetland activists to common people growing plants in their houses. Users will be able to easily and effectively analyze plants' health and can learn about the growth of the plants using Infragram infrared photography.

Being an Indian citizen, where the slogan "Jai Kisan Jai jawan" rules the heart, agriculture is one of the important sources of livelihood. Infragram will help farmers as well as the agriculture industry to develop more in terms of healthy planting.

I have tried to keep its UI so simple and easy to understand that even a kid can use it. Infragram is for everyone and can be used anywhere to analyze plant health as it is easy to use, affordable, and has Do-It-Yourself kits for plant health comparison. This is what makes this project very interesting and unique!

Commitment:

Do you understand this is a serious commitment, equivalent to a full-time summer job? Tell us how you'll structure your schedule from day today!

Yes, I completely understand and I don't have any other commitments on my schedule, so I am ready to work full-time during the internship. I will be working about 50 hours per week for 13 weeks. There won't be any Academic conflict during the internship period.

I will be actively involved in the community, helping newcomers and other teammates. Discuss everything with the mentors and the collaborators, ask for guidance wherever required, and will be open to feedback and new suggestions throughout my internship period. Also, keep them updated about the progress of the project.
