We are so excited to have Habitate in the first edition of 100 Days of Feature Request. This is the offcial repository of brand Habitat for 100 Days of Feature Request, where you will be able to submit your Pull Request regarding any new feature as a contribution for the contest.
Habitate is on a mission to help companies build happy communities around them. We want to help customer-obsessed companies become community-led organizations in a shorter period. We have created a community platform that has simplicity and a touch of artistic design. We make it easy for brands to host an online community integrated into their existing website/application without any help from the engineering team.
The company is based out of Chennai, backed by some strong industry names like FirstCheque.VC, Sri Krishnan from Rocketlane, Lakshmi Narayanan from Cognizant, and many more Angel Investors.
- While improving engagement is highly operational for Community, how can the product help in making this process easier? Keeping Habitate into consideration you have to design a process which will help in the community engagement.
- There are various factors when it comes to Community analytics. How would those factors be taken into consideration? Keeping this in mind, design an analytical feature around it.
You can find the same problem statements as issues. Read the issues and mention them while submitting a Pull Request.

To get started with the contribution in the Habitate repository, simply fork it into your local GitHub account. Make the changes in the forked repository. In this case, the change will be related to the feature that you will be putting in. You can also clone the repository first, and then fork and push it along with the changes. This will also raise a PR.
Note: Please be aware that Habitate will not share any codebase for this challenge. You are free to develop your own solution using your creativity and imagination (Like that in a hackathon). But, you have to keep the problem statament in mind while developing a solution.
To make a submission for the brand Habitate in 100 Days of Feature Request, as a first step, fork the repository by clicking the fork button at the right hand corner. In the forked repository, you will be able to make changes and upload your code regarding the feature that you will be making and contributing.
In the forked repository, create a folder and in that folder, add all the required codes and documents needed for the feature. The folder name should contain your name and the name of the feature which you have built. After naming the folder and later on adding and uploading the contents inside the folder, you will be ready to raise a pull request.
In the folder, you must have to make a README.md file which will have a detailed description about the feature solution.
When you are raising a Pull Request, keep in mind to give a proper title of the PR which will be relevant to the changes. In the description section, give a proper description that will tell the summary of the feature request that you have built. Also, you can use markdown in the description that will help you to embed any link or add anything relevant with the description.
- When you're ready to submit your changes, add a descriptive title and comments to summarize the changes made.
- Select Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request.
- Check the Propose file change button.
- Scroll down to compare changes with the original document.
- Select Create pull request.
Once a pull request is submitted, multiple committers may comment on it and provide edits or suggestions which you can commit directly. You can also add line comments. Take a look at Commenting on pull requests for more details.
A raised Pull Request will be labelled according to the work that has been done in the Pull Request. There are several labels to determine the work that is on-going with the Pull Request. For example, we requested a change in the pull request from the submitter, then the PR will be labelled as awaiting submitter action.
The Pull Requests will be reviewed on a first come first serve basis. The community and product team of SAWO Labs will be responsible for the reviewing of Pull Requests. Keep in mind that spams will not be tolerated.
While reviewing the Pull Requests, we may contact the submitter of the PR regarding any changes that need to be made. If the submitter doesn't respond even after making several calls, then we will be forced to close the PR by labelling it as incomplete.
Once the review process is complete, the change is either merged into master and pushed immediately or merged into the release branch and pushed in alignment with the release. The branch is then deleted.
If you've downloaded the repository and are making a feature on your local machine, you can generate the HTML files from markdown. You can review your changes before you commit them or create pull requests.
