GSoC 2019 [Buildbot ideas]

[Rajdeep Bharati]

Hi,
I was going through the ticket <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/55978> and
implemented a really basic (and incomplete) version of View nr. 1:
https://rajdeepbharati.github.io/macports-views/ as a standalone Vue app.
This is currently fetching 10 latest commits using the GitHub API (You can
see the code here <https://github.com/rajdeepbharati/macports-views>). I
wonder if this is the correct way of doing this? Also, how can I check the
success/failure status of the commit? Note that this hasn't been connected
to buildbot.

Thank you.
Rajdeep
