Santam GSoC 2026 Final Report by SantamRC · Pull Request #276 · CircuitVerse/Blog

SantamRC · 2026-09-04T11:02:53Z

My final report for GSoC 2026 with CircuitVerse — the Mobile App Enhancement project. It covers the second half of the coding period: the server-driven Interactive Book V2, the JSON API that feeds it, the embedded Vue simulator, the CI/CD rework, and the September fixes to master.

Follows on from my mid-term report (#268).

What's in this PR

content/posts/Santam_GSoC2026_Final_Report.md — the post
static/images/santam/Final Thumbnail.png — header image, matching the style of the mid-term thumbnail
static/images/santam/ui-comparison/ — before/after screenshots of the Interactive Book (V1 on master vs. V2), captured on the same device, plus a README documenting how they were produced

The post embeds four of those pairs — home, drawer, chapter page, and the simulator + pop quiz — in a side-by-side gallery using the existing rawhtml shortcode.

Walkthrough

Adds a GSoC 2026 final report covering Flutter foundation upgrades, Interactive Book V2, a generated JSON API, an embedded Vue simulator, home screen changes, CI/CD restructuring, documentation, and retrospective notes. Adds UI comparison documentation for Interactive Book V1 and V2. Adds a patch that fixes custom Markdown tag rendering and pop-quiz content parsing in V1.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3da62

The final report adds technical documentation and UI comparisons, but it currently includes lint-sensitive code fences and potentially misleading cache and offline-behavior claims. Clarify or correct these statements before publishing.
