Angela focused on completing the remaining PR reviews (PR# 2410, 2378, 2335, 2326, 2342, 2332, 1027, 2276, 2309, 2497) for the team, addressing 9 out of 10 PRs, with the last one scheduled for completion on July 27th. Her work included investigating and understanding target bugs, exploring the Badge component, its selected feature, and badge assignment, along with concepts of mapDispatchToProps and mapStateToProps in Redux. Angela’s efforts are pivotal in aligning with the highest good eco-community solutions by ensuring the robustness and reliability of the codebase.

Anuj worked on the sort functionality and addressed site issues. The inventory functionality has not yet been implemented and is planned for phase two. He reviewed the documentation to understand the functionality better and required more time to grasp its workings and requirements before proceeding with the implementation. Jatin focused on various pull requests and bug fixes. He completed work on PRs 2497, 2496, 2488, 2478, 2476, 2469, 2494, 2492, 2480, and 2451. In addition to these tasks, Jatin is halfway through adding the edit button on the user management page. The button is visible on the page, and on click, the text is replaced with an input element.

Nahiyan created three pull requests: PR 2497, which optimizes the user profile page for mobile and tablet displays; PR 2491, which fixes the scroll bars for the leaderboard and timelog to appear only on mobile displays; and another pull request addressing the timelog components’ scroll bar functionality on mobile displays. He also reviewed pull requests related to his mobile optimization project. Nandini addressed the misalignment of checkboxes and labels in the pie charts section of a project report, resulting in a visually organized layout. She reviewed the existing codebase, updated the CSS and JSX for proper alignment, and raised PR#2505 to resolve the issue. Howie worked on the scrollbar bug, discussed it with Nahiyan, and decided to adopt a different, simpler approach. He completed the bug fix and learned about creating pull requests, formatting for One Community, and task submission. Howie proceeded to identify more bugs on various parts of the webpage and started working on fixing the end date descriptions and setting up a new volunteer account for testing purposes. See the Highest Good Society and Highest Good Network pages for more on how this relates to the highest good eco-community solutions. The collage below shows some of this work.
