This flexible component could potentially be utilized wherever needed, demonstrating its robust applicability. Please see evidence of this work below.
Yihan Liu (Software Engineer) continued development on the Highest Good Network software. This week, Yihan focused on two main tasks in the project. Initially, she worked on fixing the refresh function and enhancing the code logic for the “Create ‘Submit for Review’ button.” To address the refresh function issue, she replaced the setTime function with “await” and created PR#992 and PR#995. However, it was found that the refresh function still fails to work on her colleague’s end, potentially due to an error type in the if statement. Yihan plans to continue working on this matter in the upcoming week.
Additionally, she made improvements to the “submit for Review” button by adding a reviewButton.css file to handle the button’s formatting and converting “Ready for Review” from a button to a dropdown. This dropdown now includes options such as “dismiss” and “Complete the review.” Yihan is considering creating a pull request (PR) for this feature next week while also planning to initiate work on the email feature. Please look below for pictures of her work.
Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) continued improving the Highest Good Network software. This week, Yiyun took the initiative to address the issue with “release PRs cannot pass on CircleCI” by implementing a hotfix. She skillfully created the necessary PRs and conducted a thorough investigation to identify and resolve the root cause of the problem. In addition, she improved the checking process by introducing an extra check on GitHub Actions, further enhancing the team’s workflow. Look below for connecting pictures.
Yubo Sun (Full Stack Software Developer) focused on Highest Good Network software. This week, Yubo collaborated with Zubing and addressed a feature that prevented admin links from having the same name, resolving conflicts that caused previous submission failures. Within a few hours, he successfully fixed the issue. Additionally, he informally reviewed Zubing’s work on PR#980, providing feedback through Slack despite it being labeled ‘do not review.’
Furthermore, Yubo identified and addressed a problem with the ‘updating progress bar’ and continued efforts to locate and resolve the ‘manage “admin links in user profile” permission’ issue. A PR was raised, but he decided to wait for the related #1001 to merge, reducing other reviewers’ workload. The pictures below relate to and show some of this work.
Yufei Zhang (Software Engineer) further assisted with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Yufei continued her work on implementing editable mouseover text functionality. She successfully added the feature and created a pull request in both the frontend(#1030) and backend(#454) repositories. Yufei made the editable button clickable and ensured that it is only visible to the owner. The new feature allows the owner to update the mouseover text through a popup text box, providing a seamless user experience. Please see below for pictures of this work.
Zubing Guo (Software Engineer) focused on the Highest Good Network software. This week, Zubing diligently continued her work on the task of incorporating “Admin Document” and “Link to Media Files” functionalities into the Profile page as part of the development team’s objectives. She successfully modified the necessary code and resolved conflict files based on PR#980 and PR#1001.
With careful attention to detail, she implemented the necessary modifications to update the links to the Weekly Summary Reports page. After updating PR#980, she continued to work on her second task, focusing on the frontend, writing the code for the “Write it for me” button, and implementing the function for fetching data. Throughout the process, Zubing encountered challenges that required additional time and effort. Look below for the work done.
The Highest Good Network software PR Review team also worked to test all of the above PRs and find any bugs they could within those PRs and the software as a whole. This week’s active members of this team (completing a minimum of 10 volunteer hours each) were: Anish Pandita (Software Engineer), Bailey Mejia (Software Engineer), Cheng-Yun Chuang (Software Engineer), Eduardo Varjão (Frontend Developer), Hector Agudelo-Carmona (Front-end Developer), Igor Rocha da Silva (FullStack Developer), Jacky Li (Software Engineer).
