The problem involved the text overflowing its container when the screen width was around 1024px. Changes were made to ensure the text stays within the box across various screen sizes, and the issue is now resolved. Sai began work on the high-priority task of creating the frontend for the analytics page, which is restricted to owners and admins for access and edits. The design includes features such as viewing a comparison period to interpret data trends and calculating percentage changes in user interaction and behavior. The interface supports the selection of specific date ranges for viewing analytics data, and various charts are being added to display trends along with their corresponding percentage change. Admins can select custom date ranges to compare data across different timeframes such as weekly, monthly, or yearly, including comparisons like this week versus last week or this month versus the same month last year. Date range selectors are being implemented to filter the data shown on the analytics charts.
Linh worked on improving the Bluesky auto-poster feature by addressing the login session persistence issue and updating the post creation function to support image uploads. Tasks included debugging a problem where uploaded GIFs were rendered as static images, verifying image MIME types, and adjusting the backend to preserve animations. He also reviewed the Bluesky API documentation related to reposts and likes to support future feature development. Ramakrishna worked on a feature to track submitted dates for weekly summaries by reviewing the existing base code and an associated pull request to understand current behavior. He developed controller methods to capture the epoch time when a specific method is invoked and store it as the weeklySummarySubmittedTime. This logic was added to the putUserProfile method in the userProfileController to ensure accurate reflection of submission times. Sheetal worked on integrating the Reddit API using OAuth authentication. She implemented code for obtaining an access token using an application with OAuth and developed an endpoint that returns the access token, which can be used to make other Reddit API calls.

The related frontend updates remain pending, and she communicated the necessary changes to the appropriate team members. Pratyush reworked the labor cost backend task by updating the controller, models, and router files to align with the new requirements. He created five API endpoints: one to create a labor cost entry using project name, task name, date, and cost; one to retrieve all labor cost data from the database; and three others to filter data by date, project name, and task name. Each endpoint was tested using Postman to verify proper functionality, and results were confirmed by checking data updates in MongoDB Compass. Ravikumar developed the interactive flow for a student dashboard, focusing on visualizing academic progress and integrating past lesson plans. His work included studying the concept of knowledge evolution and applying it as a feature within the dashboard. He created wireframes that use “education molecules” to visualize a student’s learning journey. These molecules change state to show progress: gold indicates a completed lesson, color indicates a lesson that has not been started, and a greyed-out state indicates a lesson in progress.
Sai Shekhar completed the task “Phase 2 Summary Dashboard: Create a bar graph for issues breakdown by type” and created two pull requests for it: frontend PR #3606 and backend PR #1438. A new task was then started: “Phase 2 Summary Dashboard: Create a bar graph showing risk profile of projects.” Separate frontend and backend branches were created for this task. On the backend, a schema was made for the risk profiles of projects, and work is currently ongoing on the controller file to create endpoints for it. Sravan worked on retrieving injury data from MongoDB, but the limited dataset impacted the clarity of the chart visualization. Additional data was added to support testing and improve how the chart displays trends over time. Work continued on the user interface, focusing on refining the filter functionality and adjusting the date range selection to improve usability and ensure accurate data representation. Sundar worked on multiple aspects of the HGN Software Development project, including updating Node.js, fixing test failures, and resolving merge conflicts in PR #3602.
