Oct 1, 2025October 2025 was a productive month for the uwblueprint/extend-a-family project, delivering several user-facing improvements that reinforce business value through better visuals, engagement, collaboration, and content authoring. Key work included a frontend color system refactor aligned with Figma designs and a hierarchical color structure for roles and statuses to ensure visual consistency across the app. UX enhancements to the Module Viewing Page added a Learner Feedback Form and reintroduced a Help/Support modal to boost engagement and provide quick assistance. A new Messaging and User Management layer enables learner–facilitator communication, expanded notifications, and admin-level user management to streamline collaboration. End-to-end content editing was delivered for Multiple Choice / Multi-Select activities, including CRUD operations, initial editors, image uploads, debounced updates, and validation. A minor colour refactor bug fix was addressed to ensure visual stability.
