Thank you for consistently writing up these blog posts!

It gives a good overview of the progress of your GSoC project. That 
said, it would be even more helpful and interesting if you could also 
elaborate on the technical aspects in your blog. For instance, you mention:

weeks.

You could possibly elaborate on what the challenge was and how you
tackled the same.

To add to this, Patrick gave a helpful overview elsewhere on what could 
be covered in these blogs. I'm sharing it here just in case:
