Mar 1, 2026

March 2026: Delivered feature enhancements and reliability improvements across Richie and OpenEdX frontend-app-learning, focusing on business value and developer productivity. Key outcomes include a newest-first course listing with tests to improve discoverability and freshness, cookiecutter template improvements (MySQL configuration, CircleCI dev setup, and a frontend test target) to streamline project bootstrapping and CI parity, OpenEdX enrollment error handling improvements with clearer user-facing messages and tests, and frontend tooling enhancements (separated lint checks and non-destructive lint checks) to speed up iteration. Additionally, a bug fix for the progress page tooltip translation in pt_PT ensured accurate localized messaging. These efforts reduce time-to-value for course creators, improve user experience, and strengthen DX and test coverage across repositories.
