Problem
The progress tracking page doesn't show the number of comments made by a virtual intern.
Screenshots (when necessary)
Proposed solution(s)
Can achieve this by adding a new function to fetch the number of comments a user has made on existing issues. GitHub's API does not directly provide a way to search for comments by author across all issues in a repository. However, we can fetch all issues and then iterate through each issue to count the comments made by the specified user.
I think this an important feature to add! If its not too late I would also like to work on this Issue
This is a really important feature! As a current intern, tracking the 4 required comments (one from Step 6 and three from Step 8) is mandatory for completing the program.
I strongly support the proposed solution of iterating through issues to count user comments, even if the GitHub API doesn't provide a direct endpoint. The value this feature adds to the "Track Your Progress" page far outweighs the complexity of implementation.
It will save maintainers time by making it easier for interns to self-verify they've met the requirements. Great job proposing this!
