GSoC 2026 - Week 11
Here is week 11 update for my project:
This week, I started off by fixing a few pending items from my list as part of PR #50 and PR #51
Here are some of the changes made as part of these PRs:
- Sort available widgets and clonable widgets by name
- Add alert and pause support in utils for use by custom code
- Fix disabled opacity in Settings page
- Allow Enter key to confirm dialogs
- Add hidden span with autofocus to avoid app bar icons retaining focus
- Remove y padding for app bar menu items
- Make autocomplete search bottom and list top flat to keep them aligned
- Prevent widget form submit when only single input is present (dihedral plots)
- Handle redirects for invalid uuid’s for Widget and Notebook page
- Add notes for Energy widgets
I added a few new analysis widgets:
- RMSD - PR #56
- Native Contacts - PR #59
- Contacts within cutoff - PR #60
- Number of Hydrogen bonds - PR #61
- Helix Analysis - PR #62
I created MDAnalysis blog PR #516 for the mini-workshop announcement.
As part of the workshop prep, I created a mdadash-mini-workshop-2026 repo that will host workshop materials. I created the setup needed to run the mdadash demos by anyone - both through Docker and GitHub Codespaces as described in the repo README.
I also updated mdadash color scheme to match that of MDAnalysis based on review comments as part of PR #58
Release v0.0.8 has all changes upto Week 11.
Next week, is the final week of GSoC 2026. It is also an exam week for me and things will be a bit slow. I plan to spend time on documentation and prep any materials for the mini-workshop (scheduled for Thu, Aug 20) during this time.
