Xiaoyu Chen (Software Engineer) continued helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Xiaoyu embarked on a task to construct a mouseover popup, initially applying Redux for its creation and generating pull request #996. However, upon discovery that the goal was to establish a globally editable container, she altered her approach. Learning from the role model present in the backend, Xiaoyu crafted both the schema and the reducer, encountering a challenge when she found the roleID was not bound to MongoDB.
In response, she effectively incorporated the userProfile and introduced InfoCollections as a new schema, leading to the container’s construction in the frontend. Her aspiration was to devise a modal where an areaId could serve as an input and fetch corresponding information as output, a process met with difficulties due to issues with the areaID.
To address this, Xiaoyu took cues from the summary, striving to emulate a container similar in design. She considered an alternative approach of creating an infoContext, a strategy she perceived as less complex than her initial choice. This proposed solution would allow for content storage directly in the frontend.

The Highest Good Network software is how we will objectively manage and open source share the results of our sustainable growth, reproduction, and maintenance process at One Community. See the images below for a look at this work.
Yubo Sun (Full Stack Software Developer) focused on Highest Good Network software. This week, Yubo worked on Task 149, which involved adding professional links to the profile page. He successfully resolved the issue of invalid URLs and integrated Zubing’s PR#980, which required combining conflicting parts and ensuring the proper functionality of Zubing’s layout. During the merging process, Yubo encountered some issues but managed to fix them. Additionally, he addressed minor problems, such as allowing special admin links to be empty when necessary and resolving rendering issues.
However, when it came to removing additional savings, Yubo sought assistance from the wrong person and may seek help from another individual. Recognizing the urgency of the task, he promptly opened PR #1001 after fixing the main feature. Apart from that, Yubo contributed to an unofficial test on Frontend Pull Request #992, which yielded positive results.

The pictures below relate to and show some of this work.
Yufei Zhang (Software Engineer) further assisted with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Yufei established the logic for editable mouseover text based on Jae’s advice and created the controller for mouseover text using a router and model. Yufei also developed a new frontend component for mouseover text. She implemented an editable button and plans to make it clickable, enabling a popup text box for updating the mouseover text in the upcoming week, which is only visible to the owner.

Zubing Guo (Software Engineer) focused on the Highest Good Network software. This week, Zubing diligently continued her work on the task of incorporating “Admin Document” and “Link to Media Files” functionalities into the Profile page as part of the development team’s objectives. She successfully modified the necessary code and resolved conflict files based on the reviews of PR#980.
With careful attention to detail, she implemented the necessary modifications to update the links to the Weekly Summary Reports page. While waiting for another PR to be fixed, she began her second task, focusing on the frontend and writing the code for the “Write it for me” button. In addition, Zubing reviewed one frontend and one backend PR.
