GSoC 2025 : Improved Implementer Tools - Project Updates & Discussion

Community GSoC
1

Hello Everyone,

I’ve been selected for Google Summer Of Code 2025 to work on the project : Improved Implementer Tools. I will use this thread to share the project updates and for general communication purposes.

Primary mentor: @vasharma05

Backup mentor: @jnsereko

Work to be done

  1. Implement dark mode following Carbon’s theme guidelines instead of using style overrides.
  2. Ensure a foolproof UI by handling edge cases where a config point is not defined properly.
  3. Improve support for editing object values in the configuration system.
  4. Add native UI support for overriding translations in the Implementer Tools.
  5. Enhance the extension management system to allow adding, removing, and modifying extensions more effectively.
  6. Enable privilege-based display conditions for apps/extensions based on user roles.
  7. Implement server-side storage for configuration changes instead of relying only on local storage.
  8. Add a Feature to have a color picker and preview when configuring brand colors
  9. Fix font and icon visibility issues along with some UI modifications

I have created a JIRA Epic to track my progress and manage all the issues at one centralized place.
