Projects

Bharkhar.com

I was frustrated how Nepalese Newspapers' websites are made. http://bharkhar.com collects individual PDF pages from different major news publishers and combines them into a no brainer easily consumable format.

• Contains two parts: web frontend and backend
• Web frontend (Github link) running behind unicorn coded with Sinatra.
• Backend (Github link) runs with Sidekiq workers and downloads the latest news every day.
• Deployed using docker.
• Old codebase:
  • The PDF aggregrator is developed in PHP available at https://github.com/bibstha/NepaliNewsPdfGenerator.
  • The website is coded in Django, source is available at https://github.com/bibstha/NepaliNewsHoster

OpenEventMap 2012 September to 2013 May

For this university project, I worked under supervision of Kathereh Polous. I worked with tools developed for OpenStreetMap to store Events related information and then visualize it

• In the main server of OpenStreetMap, event related information are not stored. We setup a local OSM server infrastructure of with smaller database (Bayern Region) at http://osm.openeventmap.tum.de
• I developed a plugin called EventsEditor for JOSM editor in Java that creates a GUI to add/edit/delete event related data. You can downloaded the plugin from https://github.com/bibstha/osm-event-plugin.
• To visualise collected events data, I developed a web application in Django, Javascript, AngularJS which is online at http://www.openeventmap.tum.de/. The source is available at https://github.com/bibstha/openeventmap.
