May 2025 monthly summary highlighting key features, fixes, and cross-repo impact across artsy/eigen, artsy/metaphysics, and artsy/force. Focused on UX improvements, performance optimizations, backend/frontend alignment, and test modernization to accelerate delivery and improve business value.

April 2025 monthly summary for artsy/eigen. Key features delivered include a state management migration for ArtworkLists to an easy-peasy store, which simplifies state flow, improves performance, and enhances maintainability, with toast logic detached from context and tests updated accordingly. Improvements to Infinite Discovery were implemented by removing manual artwork reversals, letting Swiper manage deck order, and optimizing data handling and queries for smoother swiping and better UX. Major bugs fixed include aligning the fetched artwork order with the deck display to ensure correct presentation for users, and adding safeguards (optional chaining) to the useSaveArtworkToArtworkLists flow to prevent runtime errors with incomplete artworks. Overall, this work reduces technical debt, strengthens reliability, and delivers tangible UX and performance benefits. Technologies demonstrated include React state management (easy-peasy), Swiper integration, performance-oriented refactors, and robust test maintenance. The changes are tied to commits across the artsy/eigen repo, including b41b1b... (ArtworkLists refactor), a53a48b... and c297f0... (Infinite Discovery), c72e21d... (order alignment), and f9335af... (safeguards).

March 2025 performance summary: Across artsy/eigen, artsy/metaphysics, and artsy/palette-mobile, delivered stability improvements, UX polish, and performance optimizations. Highlights include stabilizing the Artwork Inquiry form, major Infinite Discovery UX improvements with robust Android fixes and footer behavior, WebP-based image optimization for Infinite Discovery, and Android input reliability through memoization. These changes reduce race conditions and re-renders, improve visual fidelity and stability, and strengthen test integrity, translating to higher engagement and lower support overhead.

February 2025 performance summary for artsy/eigen: Delivered key UX and navigation enhancements that improve user engagement and data reliability across the app, with a focus on making discovery flows faster and more consistent.
