Pallavi completed the registration page for the community portal and incorporated features such as event selection, real-time registration updates, calendar integration, and a commenting system, while using React hooks for state management. Peterson fixed a bug on the User Profile page that caused a blank screen instead of redirecting to the 404 page when an invalid user ID was entered. These improvements reflect a development approach grounded in ecological models for thriving, ensuring the platform’s health and user satisfaction.
Rishitha updated the “Add New Team” form by setting a character limit for team names and fixed error message behavior. She adjusted button alignment. She also added a “Created By” section in the “Add Material” form that automatically populated using Redux state. Understanding ecological models for thriving allows for a more nuanced approach to user interface design, ensuring that even small changes contribute to a more harmonious and efficient user experience. Saniya reviewed the dashboard for issues related to a previously fixed bug and monitored the system for regressions. She tested potential areas for further improvements while awaiting approval for her fix. Sharadha completed the frontend for the resource usage overview and updated the frontend folder structure. She configured routing and collaborated with the team to resolve implementation issues. Saniya and Sharadha applied ecological models for thriving to understand complex systems and ensure harmonious interaction of all components.
Vijeth Venkatesha managed team summaries and analyzed MongoDB for replicated data affecting performance. Xiyan developed a URL shortening service for the Highest Good Network application and implementing a URLService and URLController for handling API interactions.

Skye Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network was managed by Preksha Welankiwar (Digital Marketing Manager and Admin) and Luis Arevalo (Software Engineer) and the team includes Yao Wang (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software helps manage and objectively measure the development of ecological models for thriving, focusing on social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes to build sustainable and thriving ecosystems.
This week, Luis worked on implementing the ability to send two warnings via both a button and a refactored API endpoint. He consolidated multiple endpoints into a single one, allowing it to accept either a single warning or an array of warnings while ensuring an email is issued when appropriate. Yao worked on the Reddit auto-poster, creating a workflow using JavaScript and HTML to test API functionality and contribute to ecological models for thriving. The current implementation allows posting to a subreddit through a custom HTML page and requires users to log in before making a post.

You create a new model and make the old one obsolete. That, in essence, is the higher service to which we are all being called."
