  What project milestones did you accomplish this week?   I deployed the website using GitHub Pages and presented it to the customer. He liked the overall design and only suggested a few minor changes. What is your plan for next week?  Next week, I plan to continue working on the testing portion of the project. I didn’t get to finish it this week because I had to fix some bugs before deploying the site, and that ended up taking more time than expected. What challenges, if any, are you currently facing in project development? Do you need instructor assistance?  My main challenge is still the same one I’ve had since starting the project—my laptop doesn’t have enough processing power to run local LLMs. Because of that, I have to rely on my teammates for certain tasks.

  What project milestones did you accomplish this week?  This week, I worked on improving the layout and visual presentation of our TiddlyWiki site. The default layout provided by TiddlyWiki is very basic, so I explored different approaches to customize it. I tested a new layout plugin, integrated it into the project, and experimented with styling options to enhance readability and overall user experience. I also helped troubleshoot the publishing pipeline when the API became stuck, and through that process I identified duplicated variables in the Docker Compose file that were breaking the build. What is your plan for next week?  Next week, I plan to begin working on the testing component of the project. My goal is to implement unit tests and, if possible, incorporate full system tests as well. Even if we can only include a subset of system tests, I want to ensure that we establish a solid foundation for testing and reliability before the final stages of the project. What...

  What project milestones did you accomplish this week? If you're working in a team, please list what you personally contributed, not the project status overall.  This week, I worked on the website layout for the TiddlyWiki project. I also integrated a plugin that streamlined part of the setup process and made it easier for the team to customize and maintain the layout. What is your plan for next week?  Next week, I plan to do some minor touch-ups on the website and then move on to testing. This will include unit testing, full system tests, and making sure everything functions smoothly across different components. What challenges, if any, are you currently facing in project development? Do you need instructor assistance?  My main challenge has been hardware limitations. My computer doesn’t have enough RAM to run local LLMs, which makes it hard to test the entire pipeline on my end. Because of that, I’ve been relying on my teammates for some of the heavier testing. I ...

  What project milestones did you accomplish this week? This week, I worked on developing the publisher feature for our project, TiddlyWiki . This feature integrates outputs from the entire pipeline — including the crawler, extractor, and summarizer — and publishes the processed information to a public webpage. I also implemented several enhancements to the webpage itself, such as a search bar that allows users to enter keywords and view related summaries dynamically. What is your plan for next week? Next week, I plan to continue improving the publisher feature. My focus will be on enhancing the UI/UX design , performing end-to-end testing of the entire pipeline, and identifying and fixing any bugs. Additionally, I will begin working on the literature review assigned by our mentor, which I volunteered to lead. What challenges, if any, are you currently facing in project development? Do you need instructor assistance? The main challenges we’re facing are technical and hardwar...
