SKYE’S SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Skye’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Luis Arevalo (Front End Developer) and includes John Mumbi (Developer), Yao Wang (Software Engineer) and Zuhang Xu (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be managing and objectively measuring our process for improving life for everyone through our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. John participated in two significant pull requests (PRs). In PR 1910, he focused on developing functionality to display users with zero committed hours, implementing features and refining the user interface for effective presentation of this information. In PR 1908, John worked on enhancing the project by integrating a pie chart that offers detailed insights into a specific team’s commitment, particularly highlighting the number of hours committed. Yao undertook a new task centered on displaying different font colors for varying weekly work completion rates. Initiating a new branch, Yao made progress by enabling the display of different colors corresponding to different completion rates. Luis focused on completing the add/delete warnings component. He worked on connecting the frontend and backend, facilitating the deletion, addition, and retrieval of data. Additionally, he integrated a toggle button to activate or deactivate warnings. Zuhang resolved the issues outlined in PR 1896. Key improvements included ensuring that the right portion of the page contracts during browser window resizing, rather than the left. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to improving life for everyone. See the collage below for some of their work.
