Create embeddable JS widgets to make SWH features easily available.

Some widgets could be

  • SWH Browse (for Project/revision or file)
  • Save code now.

Expected duration

350 hours. Difficulty: hard

Desirable skills

  • Python 3 and Git are a must to work on any Software Heritage project
  • web development and/or design
  • Javascript

Potential mentors
