SKYE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Skye Team’s summary covering their work on the Highest Good Network was managed by Rishabh Rao (Administrator) and Luis Arevalo (Software Engineer) and the team includes Laura Cohen (Software Engineer), Sai Preetham (Full Stack Developer), Snehal Dilip Patare (Software Engineer) and Yao Wang (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll manage and objectively measure our process for maximizing eco-potential through our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes.

This week, Laura analyzed the back-end code in HGNRest to pinpoint essential files and functions needed to fix the broken front-end logic in the permission change modal, updating the profile initial setup controller to prevent it from generating an empty array for frontPermissions, which is critical to the modal logic she previously implemented. Yao investigated the LinkedIn poster issue by testing the local host API and using cURL testing, which confirmed the backend’s ability to process form posts but revealed that the frontend failed to post data to the backend, identifying issues with the data transaction process and focusing on their resolution for maximizing eco-potential.

Snehal reviewed the social media auto-poster document to better understand Facebook functionality, joined the “#tm-onlywire-replacement” group, and noted that another team member was already working on the social media auto-poster, awaiting their response. Social media also plays an integral part in maximizing eco-potential. She then worked on fixing a bug related to the team member toggling feature for the owner’s account and uncovered a separate issue where creating a team group on the /teams page was not functioning as expected, as detailed in the bug documentation. Sai Preetham enhanced the validation for the Media Folder input field in the Add New GST form within the AddNewTitleModal component for the HGN Software Development project by introducing strict URL validation for inputs starting with http:// or https://, updating confirm logic to block invalid submissions, and adding inline error messages to improve feedback, focusing on robustness and user experience. He also addressed change requests for PR#2778, resolved merge conflicts, prepared the pull request for merging, worked on the weekly summary, and updated images and videos for Dropbox to maximize eco-potential.

Luis worked on creating new warnings, incorporating feedback from Jae to adjust styling in the warning modal, including modifications to the header and the text displaying the user’s current warning count. He also implemented a warning tracker to display the current user’s warnings. Additionally, he identified a bug causing the system to crash when issuing a warning, which will require further investigation and resolution.
