='''Midterm Summary'''=

All the following features/implementations were merged in a single branch by the name '''[https://github.com/meShubham99/OGV-meteor/tree/backend backend]'''


'''I am attaching some snapshots so that one can get an idea about what I am referring to. <br />But the work does not confide to the mere visual of the implementation. <br />There are many other features that are at play, but cannot be displayed.'''

=='''Login'''==
* I made an account on gmail by the name ogv.mailer@gmail.com for configuring and testing omniAuth and mailgun accounts. <br />I worked on email Verification and reset/forget password mails (using mailgun).
* I also added omni-Auth functionality for google and github and facebook. The backend code for omniAuth is ready and working, <br />but needs to be configured by brlcad accounts (after deployment).

=='''Feedback'''==
* Made a separate feedback page. Implemented mailing to the developer directly using formspree.io.  
* There are some issues in formspree validations in safari browser, so maybe I'll have to change the working, remove formspree, <br />and use default forms, and mailgun back end.
* Also developed a frontend such that the feedback template will be visible to the user at all times and the user can fill <br />in the feedback form at all times, without stopping any of his work.

=='''Edit info of Model'''==
* Added a field for "category" (pre-defined categories) in the form, which will be stored in the model-document as an array. <br />This array of "categories" will help in exploring/searching the models of particular category.
* Earlier user was unable to update any information regarding the model, which has been enabled. 
* The user can now delete uploaded models as well. On deletion, previous thumbnails also gets deleted. Same goes for when you update a thumbnail.
* This particular part had many other bugs regarding file-storing (thumbnails being stored repeatedly), and routing problems, which have been resolved.

=='''Model Viewer'''==
* Added dat.GUI library enabling the user to view his models with different attributes being changed and seeing its effects in real-time. <br />These attributes include shininess, transparency, opacity, ambient, emissive, wireframe+model, only wireframe and wireframe line width.

<br />

=='''Follower/following format for users'''==
* I have made user profile pages, that show info about the user and his uploaded models (with decent front-end). 
* Small things like showing google+ profile picture of users if he is logging in through google have been taken care of.
* A working FOLLOW & UN-FOLLOW button that pushes/pulls user Id's in/from an array inside the user document. <br />The user only sees the model-uploads made by the user he is following. The user can see popular models as well. <br />Need to make an intelligent newsfeed.
* A basic model for a social platform has been setup.
