ALPHA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

The Alpha Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Harshitha Rayapati (Program Manager) and Lin Khant Htel (Frontend Software Developer) and the team includes Eve Ye (Volunteer Software Engineer Intern), Sheetal Mangate (Software Engineer), Sujith Reddy Sudini (Full-Stack Software Developer), Rupa Rajesh Bhatia (Software Engineer), and Vinay Vallabineni (Software Engineer), covering their work on graphic designs for ecological models for thriving.

This week, Lin reviewed and approved PR #3152, tested the codebase locally with all test cases passing, and continued learning about the project. Lin also reviewed and checked the weekly summaries, photos, and videos submitted by Alpha team members and handled Alpha Team management duties, including task assignments and oversight. Eve focused on integrating Pinterest’s OAuth and API functionalities. She explored Pinterest’s documentation, implemented the OAuth process, and tested the API by creating a pin using Postman. For the OAuth process, Pinterest offers two main authorization grant types: Authorization Code and Client Credentials. Initially, Eve selected the Authorization Code grant type, but upon further investigation, she discovered that this would require modifying the database user schema to store tokens for each individual user. Since only the owner of the application will utilize the post pin functionality, Eve ultimately decided to implement the Client Credentials grant type, which is better suited for this use case. Regarding the pin creation functionality, Eve explored the relevant API documentation and used Postman to create a pin. The next step will be to implement this functionality within the application code. Sheetal continued working on the “Development for Re-Engagement Strategies” task from HGN Phase III. She is working on creating branch to start backend work, adding routes, creating API end points and required file structure for the task. Additionally, she reviewed the existing completed PR to ensure alignment with project requirements and referred the existing code to better understand the coding style.

This involved setting up test cases, mocking necessary dependencies, and ensuring proper assertions were in place. Debugging was done to address any issues encountered during testing. The tests were reviewed to confirm they align with project requirements and improve overall code reliability. Pallavi worked on resolving lint-related issues in a PR and reviewed multiple PRs to verify functionality, responsiveness, and test case results for global game-changing cooperatives. The /communityportal/reports/event/personalization page was tested for both Admin and Volunteer roles, confirming expected behavior, including responsiveness. PRs 3131, 3127, 3125, 3095, and 3122 were reviewed, with all test cases passing.

PR 3149, which introduced a new default and collapse view in the BM Dashboard for Phase II, was tested to ensure correct functionality and user interaction. PR 3085 was verified to confirm that activity images, descriptions, and schedules were displayed correctly. PR 3060 was tested to check that the navbar functioned as expected. PR 3159 introduced unit tests for the authActions.js file, covering login, logout, refresh token, and user authentication actions, with all test cases passing. In addition to reviewing PRs, efforts were made to identify and address potential issues affecting system behavior, ensuring that implemented features met project requirements within global game-changing cooperatives. The verification process involved checking UI elements, interactive components, and expected outcomes based on predefined test cases. Test cases for reviewed PRs were validated to confirm that changes did not introduce new issues or regressions. The testing approach included assessing different user roles and varying screen sizes to ensure a consistent experience. Work on resolving lint-related issues helped maintain code quality and adherence to best practices. Collaboration with team members ensured that feedback was addressed, and any concerns raised during reviews were resolved before merging changes.

Peterson fixed a bug on the Dashboard page for global game-changing cooperatives that occurred when the user selected a profile picture in SVG+XML format on the User Profile page. The fix now allows users to submit the summary normally, even with a profile picture in this format. Rishitha Mamidala completed the development of front-end visualizations for No-Show Rate Reports as part of Phase 3 for global game-changing cooperatives, submitting PR 3156 and PR 1227. The work included designing demographic breakdown charts to display no-show rates and creating comparison visuals to identify trends across different event types and locations. Additionally, the back-end logic was developed to calculate no-show rates segmented by demographics, event type, and location.

Saniya examined a bug to determine whether it was functioning correctly, as she had not received enough PR reviews to confirm its status. She considered the possibility of an issue affecting its expected behavior. Once she receives 10 PR approvals, she will begin working on another bug, and Jae will merge the current one within global game-changing cooperatives. Sharadha worked on the “Create ‘use both filters’ popup and function,” making changes to the collaboration.jsx file to implement the required features. The work is still in progress, as further development depends on the merging of other branches. The “Clear All” feature and tooltip are currently functional, but additional refinements are needed. Further adjustments will be made once the dependencies are resolved, ensuring the filtering system functions as intended within global game-changing cooperatives.

Xiyan focused on integrating a URL shortening service into the highest good network application within global game-changing cooperatives. He developed key components—including the URLService, which manages API interactions, and the URLController, which handles incoming requests. The new feature provides URL shortening, maintains a history of shortened URLs, and offers a copy-to-clipboard function. By leveraging modern web technologies and TypeScript for strong type safety, he ensured error handling throughout the codebase. Vijeth focused on team management and technical investigations within global game-changing cooperatives, overseeing the weekly summary process, reviewing progress updates, and ensuring alignment with project requirements. He analyzed the MongoDB database to identify replicated or redundant data that could be contributing to application slowdown, examining database structures and querying stored data for inefficiencies. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to global game-changing cooperatives. Below is a collage of the team’s work.

SKYE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Skye Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network was managed by Preksha Welankiwar (Digital Marketing Manager and Team Admin) and Luis Arevalo (Software Engineer) and the team includes Ikechukwu Gbogboade (Frontend Software Developer), Laura Cohen (Software Engineer), Sai Preetham (Full Stack Developer), Snehal Dilip Patare (Software Engineer), and Yao Wang (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software helps manage and objectively measure the designing of global game-changing cooperatives, focusing on social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes to build sustainable and thriving ecosystems. This solution is portable, scalable, and ideal for off-grid or sustainable living communities.

This week, Ike focused on the design for global game-changing cooperatives by developing the bidding homepage display for property listings with a user-friendly grid and list format, incorporating high-quality images for each property along with essential details such as titles and primary images. He used placeholders for actual property detail content. Laura focused on improving how user permissions are tracked and updated. After reviewing a teammate’s work to better understand the hasPermission utility, she adjusted how permissions are stored and retrieved. She made changes to ensure the most up-to-date permissions are always available, which is important for ensuring the permission change model works correctly for designing the global game-changing cooperatives.

Luis worked on troubleshooting an issue with warning tracking not appearing. After discussing the problem with Newell, an index was added to ensure MongoDB created the document on the backend. He then worked on generating an in-depth summary text to check if users had not submitted their summaries due to being off. While inspecting this, he encountered an issue preventing new members from being added to teams. After identifying the problem, he reached out to Jae for confirmation on whether he could add members. He also continued implementing the in-depth intro summary, allowing text to be added if a user is off for the week in his support to designing the global game-changing cooperatives.

Sai Preetham worked on implementing backend permission checks for warnings based on feedback from Nathan and Luis. Previously, permissions were managed on the frontend, and changes were made to ensure security and consistency with existing backend structures. Role-based checks were added to grant default permissions to Owner and Administrator roles, preventing issues where they appeared to lack permissions despite having access. Updates were made in the currentWarningsController to validate actions such as adding, updating, and deleting warnings. The requestor object was verified to ensure that user roles were correctly passed for permission checks. These changes were implemented separately to avoid disruptions to existing logic while aligning with the overall permission management system. Testing was done to confirm functionality and resolve any issues, in support to designing the global game-changing cooperatives.

Snehal investigated an issue with the backend API, encountering an invalid token error through Postman. She tested the token with the Facebook Graph API, where the token worked as expected and allowed post creation extending her support to designing the global game-changing cooperatives. Yao continued working on the backend code related to Reddit post functionality, focusing on identifying the cause of an authentication error that prevented posts from being submitted. Debugging efforts included reviewing authentication flows, checking token validity, and testing different configurations to determine why the system blocked post requests. See the Highest Good Society and the Highest Good Network pages to learn more about how their work contributes to the designing for global game-changing cooperatives. See below for the work done by the group.
