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.

Sujith worked on enhancing the Resource Management component for the Highest Good Network App, addressing ESLint errors and improving code quality. He fixed issues related to missing button type attributes and improper use of array indexes as keys. Additionally, he refined the UI, optimized pagination, and ensured better maintainability of the component. Rupa improved the multi-step form project by updating the design for better responsiveness, using reusable components, and customizing various UI elements. She added interactive features such as sliders, custom input fields, and toggle switches, managed with modular state handlers. Rupa also implemented asynchronous routing for smoother transitions while retaining user inputs, introduced smart logic for dynamic form responses, and added real-time data validation. And she developed custom features for digital signatures and user preferences. As part of managerial training, she collaborated with Sheetal, Vinay, and Sujith to analyze summaries and workflows and reviewed Lin Khant Htel’s project for further learning. This holistic approach to development contributes to the larger goal of global game-changing cooperatives.

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.

This forward-thinking approach to user interface design contributes to the broader initiative of eco-renovating the human story. Nikita added a bar chart feature to the HGN portal to display project tasks and their hour contributions. The chart includes options to view total hours contributed versus remaining, total hours contributed only, or total hours remaining only, with default sorting by date and options to reorder by hours. To enhance load speed, the chart is hidden by default. This enhancement provides a clear visual representation of project progress, aiding in resource allocation and overall project management, all in service of eco-renovating the human story.

Shraddha worked on fixing the incorrect assignment of new badges, identifying multiple errors and ongoing investigation into the root cause. She also debugged the “Send Emails” tab, confirming that errors occur only when request headers and content are incomplete. Additionally, she fixed an issue related to saving featured badges, tracing the problem to a null variable caused by improper initialization. These targeted improvements to the platform’s functionality demonstrate a commitment to eco-renovating the human story. Shreya developed and implemented unit tests for `ProjectInfoModal.jsx` and refined the pull request for `AskTaskModal`, focusing on resolving merge conflicts and fixing bugs to improve feature integration. Eco-renovating the human story is a key objective driving these software enhancements.

Zhifan finished testing and resolving the issue where time logged for specific tasks was not showing on the Dashboard Tasks tab and created a pull request. He revisited the “Badge Data Not Displayed on Summary Page” issue, identifying a problem in the frontend filtration process that caused badges to return as undefined due to their showReport property being null or false. Zhifan confirmed that all badges should be displayed regardless of this property and spent the rest of the week designing the database structure for event tracking.
