Month: 2025-10 — gofractally/psibase Key features delivered: - Token input and form refactor: moved token selector out of the transfer form, removed token from the form schema, and ensured the token field remains populated on submit to enable smoother optimistic updates (commits: 72bef2289dc65e7732b9c03c1887e0cf71a58959; 324b2cb364c0b47b3a9574b382df876dd224d8bb; a3391d126549d1310c2140a12dc7598924144065). - Balance/history UI and data features: groundwork for balance history display, token balance changes table, and related credit/debit UI elements (commits: 540e942f6a2af2ceb81bfd18dcbe5045ab953873; d086bb9113c372c47cafaaa14ff5fe4ae1fe4fa2; b608c1d54018e47d99d407ecb08d9e918db45488; 1c7dc8fc5d365f98a24bf9b55f00c72f0788dc32). - Pending Transactions UI and interactions: comprehensive pending transactions UI and interactions including mapping, table UI, token filtering, avatars, memos, confirmations, optimistic updates, and action buttons (multiple commits under Pending Transactions UI). - UI/UX polish and navigation: routing/navigation restructuring; UI markup polish; wallet naming and icon updates; general UI/UX refinements and refactors; code quality improvements (several commits listed). - Validation and error handling improvements: stricter validation, better error visibility, and overall reliability improvements during transfers (e.g., fixing optimistic update behavior). Major bugs fixed: - Allow submission of amounts starting with a decimal point. - Validation improvements and more thoughtful validation rules. - Optimistic update fixes and making transfer errors more obvious to users. - Pending Transactions loading state bug restricted to specific counterparty. - Various token handling/display refinements to reduce flash of no-tokens states. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Reduced transfer submission errors and clearer error messaging, increasing user trust in the platform. - Improved user experience for balances and pending transfers with richer visuals and more reliable optimistic updates. - Streamlined token management with Wallet naming/icons, lowering cognitive load and support questions. - Strengthened code quality and maintainability through lint/formatting upgrades and UI refactors. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Frontend patterns for optimistic UI, per-counterparty loading, and complex table UIs. - UI/UX design principles applied across transfers, balances, and pending transactions. - Code quality discipline: lint/config upgrades, formatting consistency, and documentation alignment. - Data presentation for balances and credits/debits, including token precision handling.
