Background:

The cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics is a publicly available resource for visualizing and analyzing cancer genomics data curated from various sources including public data repositories, published research papers, and private data sets. For an overview on all things cBioPortal, please refer to the home page.

Our team is constantly working towards improving the cBioPortal with updates and new features that provide new types of visualizations and analyses, improve performance, and enhance the overall user experience. As one of the leading publicly available resources for analyzing and visualizing cancer genomics data, it is essential that the cBioPortal remains accessible to both new and experienced cBioPortal users.

As more features are added to the cBioPortal, it can be challenging for new users to fully utilize the site. Furthermore, there are features which a large percentage of users are not aware about because they lack prominence in the UI. For example, the group comparison tool.

To address these issues, we wish to introduce interactive web tours to get new users started with the cBioPortal and to demonstrate new features and how to use them. Additionally, we should allow the hints to be disabled by advanced users who do not want them.


Goal:

Implement an interactive tour version of one or more of the tutorials: https://www.cbioportal.org/tutorials.

Approach:

There is already some code available that does a web tour of the group comparison feature: cBioPortal/cbioportal-frontend#2670. We can build off of that and allow the user to turn it on or off. As an early stage of the development process, this could be stored in localStorage.


Needed skills:

  • Javascript
  • ReactJS

Hi @alisman @leexgh @dippindots @inodb, I am interested in this project. Just want to clarify something. 1. For the walkthrough tour, should we focus on group comparison feature, or should we cover all other features as much as possible like study view as well? 2. is hint mode something to toggle after start tour button in the demo or should we replace start tour button with hint toggle? so it automatically turn on for new users, and depend on user's operation, it will enable/disable the walkthrough the next time they visit. Thank you!

Hello there, I just had a small query that can we use any library for implementation of this functionality? Or is there any library that has already been decided?

Hi @prithviraj-kt - I don't believe there is any preference as to which library is used as long as it works with the cBioPortal frontend.

hello mentors,
@alisman @leexgh @dippindots @inodb

I play around javascript and react. And I gone through the website. and I think, I can improve the UI and add some extra functionalities to make great user experience.
I gone through the approach and I wrote sample code snippet in JavaScript that demonstrates how we can implement a switch to turn the web tour on or off and store the user's preference in localStorage.

const tourSwitch = document.querySelector('#tour-switch');
const tourEnabled = localStorage.getItem('tourEnabled') === 'true';
tourSwitch.checked = tourEnabled;

tourSwitch.addEventListener('change', (event) => {
const enabled = event.target.checked;
localStorage.setItem('tourEnabled', enabled);
});

if (tourEnabled) {
// code to start the web tour
}

Please give me your valuable suggestion. and I am very excited to hear back from you. As I want to contribute to the cBioPortal project and help users get the most out of the platform.

Hi, I'm Gloria, a first-year CS Master student at North Carolina State University, and I'm interested in this project.
With around two year of experience worked as a Front-end Engineer writing React application with JavaScript and TypeScript, I've found that my tech stack is a great match for cBioPortal-front-end codebase. And I have experience in developing user guides, and I think this project can be implemented well with reacttour.
As a newcomer to open-source projects, I am eager to have the opportunity to make a contribution.

Hello Mentors,
I am writing this to express my interest in participating in the Google Summer of Code 2023 with cBioPortal, specifically for the Interactive Web Tour Project. I have gone through the project details and found them very interesting and challenging. I believe that my skills and experience match the project requirements, and I am confident that I can make a valuable contribution to this project.

Let me introduce myself, I am Neeraj Khstri, currently pursuing my B. Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur. I have been working in web development for the last 2 years and have hands-on experience in front-end web development technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React js, etc. I have also worked on various projects in the past which required integrating APIs and developing interactive web applications.

I am passionate about open-source technologies and have contributed to open-source projects in the past. I am well-versed in the Git version control system and have experience in collaborating with remote teams.

Regarding the Interactive Web Tour Project, I am excited to work on this project because it involves developing an interactive web tour, which will help the users get a better understanding of the cBioPortal. I have gone through the project details and have a few ideas that can help enhance the user experience of the tour. I am willing to work on this project full-time during the summer and can devote around 40-50 hours per week.

I would like to thank you for considering my application for the Interactive Web Tour Project at cBioPortal. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to this project and would be happy to discuss my ideas further. Please let me know if you require any further information or have any questions.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Neeraj Khatri
