2025-RahulHarpal-PictoPy.md (9)
16-16: Clarify delivered vs. planned work and use consistent tense.Abstract mixes future and past (e.g., “will be introduced”). Either confirm these were delivered and switch to past tense, or move them to “Future Plans.”
20-23: Normalize tech stack names and spacing.Minor correctness/consistency tweaks.
-- Frontend: Tauri, ReactJS, and ShadCN - Backend: FastAPI(Python) +- Frontend: Tauri, React, shadcn/ui (Radix UI) +- Backend: FastAPI (Python)
27-29: Polish demo label wording.Use the standard term “Midterm Evaluation.”

-## Challenges and Solutions: +## Challenges and Solutions
68-71: Tighten wording and fix package/name casing.“watchfiles” is lowercase; “SQLite DB” → “SQLite database”; streamline phrasing.
-1. **Packaging the Desktop App:** Unlike websites, which can be easily hosted and deployed on various platforms, building Desktop apps is a different game altogether. We must consider all the edge cases for each of the three platforms. This was solved by creating a fully customized CI/CD pipeline that generates app builds for each of the platforms, packaging the frontend, backend, and models into a single installer for each platform. +1. **Packaging the Desktop App:** Desktop apps require per-platform handling. We addressed this with a custom CI/CD pipeline that builds and packages the frontend, backend, and models into a single installer for Windows, macOS, and Linux. -2. **Syncing system folders with the app state:** The app allows users to choose which folders to import photos from. But the challenge is keeping the app synced with the changes to the selected folder. These changes could be the addition/deletion of new folders and images. This was solved by developing a microservice that runs separately and monitors file changes inside the folders using the Python package Watchfiles. Based on the changes that happen, the main backend then updates the SQLite DB. +2. **Syncing system folders with app state:** A separate microservice monitors selected folders using the Python package watchfiles, and the backend updates the SQLite database based on detected changes (additions/deletions). -3. **Keeping the API and DB docs up to date:** Due to many changes happening in the APIs, it was hard to keep the API docs updated manually. So we decided to use Swagger to automatically generate API docs based on the changes made in the Python code. (See this [PR](https://github.com/AOSSIE-Org/PictoPy/pull/483) by Anjali). Similarly, for Database design, we used dbdiagram.io to automatically update our docs site (We embed the link provided by dbdiagram. See this [Link](https://aossie-org.github.io/PictoPy/backend/backend_python/database/)) +3. **Keeping API and DB docs current:** We adopted Swagger/OpenAPI-generated docs from Python code changes (see [PR #483](https://github.com/AOSSIE-Org/PictoPy/pull/483)). For database design, we embed dbdiagram.io to keep the docs site updated ([link](https://aossie-org.github.io/PictoPy/backend/backend_python/database/)).
73-73: Optional: Rename to “Next Steps.”Slightly tighter than “Future Plans.”

16-24: Verify external claims/links (YOLO version, Google Docs access).
- Ensure “YOLOv11” is the actual model/version used and documented in the repo/releases.
- Confirm Google Docs links are publicly viewable without org login.
Would you like me to raise a follow-up PR if any links or version labels need adjustment?

In 2025/RahulHarpal-PictoPy.md around line 7, the social profile link text uses
incorrect capitalization "Linkedin"; update the visible link text to the proper
proper noun "LinkedIn" while leaving the URL unchanged, i.e., change the
markdown label to "LinkedIn" so it reads **Social Profiles:**

| ## Abstract | ||
|
|
||
| For GSoC'25, I aimed at an all-around enhancement to PictoPy by improving its backend scalability, frontend usability, and deployment accessibility. Key backend upgrades include implementing user-named face clusters, optimizing face clustering with dimensionality reduction, upgrading to YOLOv11 for better detection, adding GPU-accelerated inferencing, and redesigning inefficient database schemas. A fresh modern UI using Radix UI will be introduced on the frontend, along with a unified folder selection, an advanced search bar supporting face and object queries, object bounding box display, and user notifications. To ensure broader accessibility, the project will package and publish PictoPy for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This will involve the creation of CI/CD pipelines on the GitHub repository. Comprehensive documentation will encourage new developers to contribute, including contributing guides, API references, and a setup video. These improvements will make PictoPy more user-friendly, scalable, and ready for widespread adoption. |

Use past tense in a final report; tighten phrasing.
Reads like a proposal (“will be introduced”). Recommend past tense to reflect completed work.

+For GSoC'25, I delivered all-around enhancements to PictoPy across backend scalability, frontend usability, and deployment accessibility. Key backend upgrades included user‑named face clusters, faster clustering via dimensionality reduction, a detector upgrade (YOLOv11), GPU‑accelerated inference, and a redesigned database schema. On the frontend, a modern UI using Radix UI, unified folder selection, an advanced search bar (face/object queries), object bounding boxes, and user notifications were added. To broaden accessibility, PictoPy was packaged for Windows, macOS, and Linux with CI/CD pipelines. Documentation was expanded (contributing guides, API references, setup video) to onboard new developers, making PictoPy more user‑friendly, scalable, and adoption‑ready.📝 Committable suggestion

In 2025/RahulHarpal-PictoPy.md around line 16, the paragraph is written in
proposal/future tense and reads like a plan rather than a final report; rewrite
it into concise past-tense, active-voice statements that summarize completed
work (replace "will" phrases with past verbs, change "will be introduced" to
"was introduced", etc.), tighten wording by collapsing long lists into compact
clauses, and ensure each major change is described briefly as completed rather
than planned.

In 2025/RahulHarpal-PictoPy.md around line 79, the term "inferencing" is
incorrect; replace it with "inference" to use proper terminology. Update the
sentence to read "Consider further performance improvements for the backend
(especially for inference of DL models)." Also scan the file for any other
occurrences of "inferencing" and replace them with "inference" to ensure
consistent terminology.
