Hi all! Just finished up the last bit of work for my Season of KDE task of automating data collection for the KDE promotional team. Since the midterm blogpost I've been assigned no new tasks. That means my final deliverables are a follower/post count scraping script for specific social media websites, a Reddit Insights page scraper that totals weekly insight data for a given subreddit, and an article evaluation script that reads articles found by the Google Alerts system and evaluates their sentiment on KDE and its software.

Hey there! I'm Vishesh Srivastava, and this is the full write-up for my SoK 2026 project: adding Appium-based UI tests to Lokalize. So what's Lokalize? It's KDE's translation tool - the app translators use to work with PO files and manage translation projects. It already had unit tests, but no UI tests. So the goal of this project was to setup a UI testing framework using Appium. Read More
