Release 0.2


Release 0.2 The Summary



At the beginning of Hacktoberfest I had a goal of doing a super good PR. I really wanted to do one on software a use / used a lot. I spent alot of time looking at hearthstonedecktracker and aircrack-ng. These projects were much to big for me to begin on. So I settled with walking before running and just explored by topics. One project I started to work on villetracker, there was a feature request for app tracking. I started to work on it and halfway through I saw someone put in a PR implementing the features I was working on. I learned that I should probably communicate that Im working on something so that people don't do the same work. 


I also learned that attempting to do a feature request on a no longer updating  package also has it challenges. The dual counter was a big learning experience because i had to learn how other people implement data persistence along with confusing fragment menus. Im currently working on Android projects so that is why this was a good choice to work on.  I learned that some code isn't meant to be up-gradable . In this case there is no way to save the counters as the SortedMap and the PersistData only accepts String , ? , max 2 field map.

Next Hacktoberfest I think I will work on getting a PR on a project meaningful for me. While I did spend alot of time looking at these larger projects, I think it was time well spend as I kinda got a sense of the complexity these projects. You really need to spend alot of time to be able to contribute to them, Especially NEW FEATURES!!

One thing that I wanted to learn abit more about that I never did was writing tests. Im not sure how to do it in other languages and for other programs. I think this would be a great thing to do for next hacktoberfest as a lot of projects don't have tests!

Introduction:  Repo  https://github.com/aagarwal1012/Image-Steganography-Library-Android Issue   https://github.com/aagarwal1012/Image-Steganography-Library-Android/issues/5 PR      https://github.com/aagarwal1012/Image-Steganography-Library-Android/pull/4     Today I found a good repo that I wanted to contribute to. Its relatively new so I think there's a good chance to get my work accepted into it quickly.  The Repo is an Image Stenography app in which encodes text into images encrypted with a password. Saving and encoding both are too much load on the UI thread and often cause the system to hang, I want to apply a fix of this nature to the save function for this app. When I first tried saving the photo I encoded the system would just hang and not function at all. The app didn't even save the photo. Work I recently had to deal with an issue regarding saving photos on android, and I noticed with this app that it never asked me permission to access my file to sa

I then added that to the Readme. Installing and Running the back-end can be a bit confusing to new comers so I made the first page of the Darkchatter wiki be a guide on how to install and run. I supplied the commands to install the necessary programs,
