Oct 1, 2025October 2025 — Key delivery focused on a robust mapping experience, theming consistency, and release readiness. Major work includes delivering the BaseMap component in the map-toolkit (Deck.gl + MapLibre GL) with click/hover events emitted via a central event bus, plus Storybook setup and unit tests; exposing ThemeMode type and applying a baseline HTML theme (background/foreground colors and primary font) for consistent theming; stabilizing dependencies for upcoming releases (pinning deck.gl to 9.1.x, updating changesets, and minor versioning in the design toolkit); fixing the npm repository link in the published package with documentation via a changeset; and ongoing design toolkit maintenance (cleanup, docs updates, and story adjustments).

Jul 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-07 - gohypergiant/standard-toolkit: Focused on establishing solid foundations, improving user-facing UI, and increasing maintainability through tooling, tests, and robust state management. Delivered multiple features and fixed a number of critical issues to stabilize the toolkit for downstream consumers and internal teams. Key features delivered (highlights): - Tree state management hooks: added useTreeState and useTreeActions to enable stateless, predictable tree interactions across components. Representative commits: b61dbdfd9e5ae3edad736c53134234e58bafc749; c5d004fe2ed0148ea6b5806a481dd4a7d614034e - Baseline/UI refresh: adopted next baseline, refreshed Button styles, enabled visibility controls, and refactored lines into a component to improve consistency and accessibility. Representative commits: 96c9bf6790454168142002d285495def94fb2428; 7a3a7afc0e5bc068c884129ece23276df80326a0; 399ddd6bafb08afd2cd682bf11517e6959db3a70 - Drag-and-drop improvements: tidied up drag-and-drop behavior and related code to improve UX reliability and maintainability.
