9 Commits • 3 Features
Jul 1, 2025July 2025 — Kickstarted android-oss: Focused on delivering user-centric features, improving UX, and strengthening data fidelity. Key features delivered include: Pledge editing UX and plot feature gating; Goal discovery and filtering system; Refund tracking and UI enhancements. Major bugs fixed: gating and flow edge-cases in pledge edit (e.g., disabled plot edit flow prevents collection plan changes), ensuring correct display of promises; and UI consistency in refund and goal filtering flows. Overall impact: improved backer experience, clearer refund indicators, and more discoverable goals driving project funding. Technologies/skills demonstrated: feature flags, UI/UX design, backend filtering via DiscoveryParams, GraphQL/schema evolution, translations/internationalization, and cross-repo collaboration.
