Hello Alexei,
We are sorry to propose our "pile of nonsense" idea. Won't do it again.
Both of us liked the website, so thought of some improvement ideas. Good to
hear such words from you.
Also, we haven't mentioned our stacks or idea in detail regarding the "Full

Hi Sagnik,
Ok. In that case, you have to be specific about your ideas. What is that
you find messy and what to improve? General "Full Stack" won't fly with us.

Dear applicants,
GSoC is a competition.

Hello mentors,
Do share your remark over this or can I proceed according to what he have
suggested or what, accordingly i will see the things,
and the most ambiguous thing in current is - whether i have to make
proposal for the entire thing, or just for the subproject he suggested me
