Project Ideas List (GSoC 2025)
Our mission at the Processing Foundation is to promote software learning within the arts, artistic learning within technology-related fields, and to celebrate the diverse communities that make these fields vibrant, liberatory, and innovative. Our goal is to support people of all backgrounds in learning how to program and make creative work with code, especially those who might not otherwise have access to tools and resources. We also believe that some of the most radical futures and innovative technologies are being built by communities that have been pushed to the margins by dominant tech.
To learn more about the Processing Foundation, see our official website at processingfoundation.org.
For all of our projects, it's incredibly important that things are kept as simple and user-friendly as possible. We aim to make our work accessible to everyone, especially those new to coding. Therefore, we focus on making everyday tasks easier for as many people as possible more than on adding shiny new features for experts. Keep these values in mind when writing your proposal and you'll greatly increase your chances to get selected by the Processing Foundation for the GSoC program.
For more information about GSoC and instructions on how to apply, please see our 📄README.
This section contains a list of ideas and how you can help contribute to the Processing Foundation's work on Processing, p5.js, and p5.js Editor
Create a user-friendly tool that guides a p5.js user of any level to help showcase their work in their own websites. Anyone can make a sketch with p5.js - as interactive art, as teaching material, as data visualization, as game, as diary, and as anything else they can imagine! A p5.js sketch is a canvas element that can be included in any website, and existing tutorials help to do this. How can embedding a sketch be streamlined, and support all the different kinds of use-cases and customizations? For example, a teacher may want to include code snippets; an artist may want to arrange multiple sketches next to one another.
Expected outcomes: A possible technical outcome could be a standalone interactive webpage with user-friendly settings that helps visitors to generate sketch embed code depending on their needs. The community impact can be very wide, making it easier for users to take their work beyond a classroom or a tutorial and into their own interactive online space.
Skills: Some familiarity of JavaScript is needed, but this could be a good project to sharpen your skills!
