April 2025 – Shopsys/shopsys: Delivered core data integrity, checkout flexibility, and extensibility improvements with tangible business value. Implemented a coordinates data-model overhaul across UI/DB/GraphQL/frontend to improve distance calculations and data integrity. Refined Luigi's Box integration with deterministic category feed ordering and cleanup of unused dependencies (with a fix for rendering). Enhanced checkout with multi-code promo support, exposed external payment status in the frontend API, and optimized GoPay transactions. Exposed VAT information in the frontend API for products, transport, and payments. Introduced universal PaymentTypeEnum and TransportTypeEnum with providers, migrations, and upgrade notes to enable future extensibility. Aligned dev tooling and environment (Makefiles, docker-compose, pre-commit checks) to reduce friction and improve CI reliability.

January 2025 — For shopsys/shopsys, delivered a major architectural and feature set that strengthens testability, maintainability, and pricing accuracy while clarifying upgrade paths for customers. Highlights include a sweeping migration from static helpers to instance-based APIs across core utilities, reducing tight coupling and enabling dependency injection. Affected components include ArraySorterHelper, BytesHelper, TypehintHelper, DateTimeHelper, OrderByCollationHelper, EntityLogFacade, Grid, ImageUrlWithSizeHelper, MailerHelper, FriendlyUrlGridFactory, DatabaseSearchingHelper, TransformStringHelper, and PhpParserNodeHelper. In parallel, the codebase was cleaned to remove unused EncodingConverter, type hints were added to Utils, and modernization practices were applied to core APIs. Pricing accuracy improvements include Base Price Calculation now excluding VAT and QuantifiedProductPriceCalculation now accounts for input price type. Cart initialization was streamlined by moving CartInputDefaultValueInitializer logic into CartQuery. SEO workflow was refined by renaming ChoseReadyCategorySeoMixCombination to SelectedReadyCategorySeoMixCombination and introducing a factory for SelectedCategorySeoMixCombination. Additional improvements include enabling Enums to remove values and introducing a Complaint Resolution System, all accompanied by upgrade notes detailing API shifts. Overall impact: a more testable, maintainable, and scalable codebase with clearer upgrade paths and stronger price integrity, contributing to faster development cycles and more reliable deployments.
