This would be Ok for a microproject, but you have already worked on one, so you should probably aim at something a bit more complex. See the "Only ONE quality focused microproject per applicant" section in https://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/. By the way, please put your possible mentors (Hariom and me) in Cc. Thanks, Christian.
