Hello, my name is Shaik Junaid (IRC nick fettuccinae and fettuccinae on GitHub). I’m an undergrad computer science student from MGIT, Hyderabad, India. My project focused on adding a central notification system for MetaBrainz.
Project Overview
This project’s idea was suggested to me by mentor @ruaok (AKA mayhem on IRC). I submitted my proposal on the MetaBrainz Forum and got it reviewed by @kartikohri13 (AKA lucifer on IRC), and finally got selected for GSoC 2025 .
A centralized notification management system will various MetaBrainz projects send notifications to users without rewriting boilerplate code. It will also keep users informed about the latest events and new features across projects. This is a goal bigger than the scope of a single GSoC project. To keep it reasonable, my project focused on implementing REST APIs, hosted on metabrainz.org, to manage notifications and user preferences for notifications. Additionally, I integrated the system with ListenBrainz to demonstrate its functionality.
The project spec sheet can be found here.
