May 2025: Catalog Sessions UX cleanup and reliability improvements. The key deliverable was removing the tooltip on the 'more sessions' text in the catalog and switching to direct display of the session date/time, simplifying the UX and reducing potential tooltip-related accessibility issues. This was achieved by reverting a previous feature and removing its import. Impact includes clearer session information for users, reduced frontend complexity, easier maintenance, and improved catalog consistency. Tech stack and practices demonstrated include frontend web technologies, code review discipline, a targeted revert strategy, and commit traceability in the codebase (code-dot-org/code-dot-org).
