During January 2025, Dogdie focused on backend development for the Lagrange.Core repository, building the foundational Bounce Face feature to enable richer messaging content. Using C# and leveraging skills in API development and message queuing, Dogdie introduced new entity models and integrated them into the message-building pipeline, allowing messages to include special face elements. The work established essential scaffolding and integration points, setting the stage for future receiving and rendering capabilities. While no bugs were addressed during this period, the effort concentrated on robust feature architecture and disciplined commits, providing a solid base for rapid iteration and future enhancements in messaging functionality.
