Mozilla's Web Compatibility team builds and maintains a web application called webcompat.com that allows individuals to easily report site compatibility issues - and to allow us to better understand the larger picture of compatibility issues affecting Firefox users on the web. | |||
In this Outreachy project, the participant will contribute to one or more of the following projects to help us succeed from a few different angles. | |||
* Design and implement a system that allows site owners and developers to register for notifications (i.e., RSS, E-mail) for issues related to a given domain | |||
* Design and build a user interface that allows bug reporters to identify possible duplicate problems | |||
* Use cutting edge features like Service Workers to enable offline and sync capabilities between the client and server | |||
* Migrate webcompat.com front-end to use ES6 modules (likely powered by something like Babel) | |||
