GSoC 2026 Interest: Practice patch idea from Issue #3686

[snigdhachoudhury]

Hi @DonnieBLT and mentors,

I'm a prospective GSoC 2026 contributor looking for a "practice patch" as per the GSoC guidance.
I was reading Issue #3686 about improving the 'Protection Of Online Privacy' feature.
One of the suggestions was to 'Add pattern matching for common PII (emails, phone numbers, addresses, etc.)'.
As a practice task, would it be helpful if I tried to implement a simple regex check for email addresses inside the check_keywords command? I'd be happy to work on that and submit a Pull Request.

Thanks!

Sure!

Hi @DonnieBLT
While working on the Social Stats feature, I noticed the UI feels a bit cramped and the high-contrast black cards don't quite match the rest of the site's design. I would love to do a separate "UI Cleanup" task to fix the spacing and soften the colors. Would you be open to me creating a new issue for this?

The protection of online privacy project is now in the SelfErase repo and the dashboard has since been updated.
