Katie Toler contributed to the temporalio/ui repository by building and refining core navigation and UI features over nine months, focusing on maintainable architecture and user experience. She implemented a multi-section navigation system using Svelte and TypeScript, introduced flexible subtitle structures, and enhanced iconography for both cloud and self-hosted deployments. Katie addressed cross-instance state issues in date-time filters, improved audit logging for schedule operations, and delivered configurable navigation components to reduce boilerplate. Her work emphasized UI consistency, responsive design, and readiness for Svelte 5, demonstrating depth in front-end development, state management, and UI/UX design while reducing visual defects and technical debt.

February 2026: Delivered UI navigation polish and visual consistency for the Temporal UI, focusing on the navigation bar across folders, keys, and identities. Key work included refining icon sizing and layout, restoring the logo component, tightening typography, and adjusting project navigation subtitle sizing and padding to improve readability and usability. These changes reduce visual noise, improve onboarding, and strengthen branding coherence. Implemented through coordinated commits on temporalio/ui (f71743b..., 5b91e46a..., 50d5c96c...), including updates to cloud-nav-bar.svelte and Tailwind-based styling with twMerge. Demonstrated strong collaboration across the team (co-authored by Ross Nelson and Laura Whitaker).

December 2025 — Temporal UI: Datetime Filter Stability for Time Range. Delivered a robust fix to the datetime filter component that isolates per-instance state to prevent cross-instance interference, addressing time-range reliability issues across dashboards. Implemented a get() pattern, resolved type errors, refreshed stores and defaults, and prepared the codebase for Svelte5 updates. Result: more reliable date-time filtering, fewer user-reported issues, and cleaner data views.

In Aug 2025, delivered the Nexus Endpoint: Configurable back navigation feature in temporalio/ui. Introduced an optional backHref prop on nexus-endpoint.svelte to customize back navigation; when provided, navigation uses the prop, otherwise it defaults to routeForNexus(). This change reduces navigation boilerplate and improves UX consistency across the UI, aligning with Nexus patterns and enhancing maintainability by centralizing navigation behavior. The update is complemented by the related commit ee9fa714e1e375f1dadabb07440f445b7342b5fa ("Add hidden edit btn and default route prop (#2872)"), which introduced default route prop behavior and UI refinements. Business value includes more predictable navigation, reduced risk during feature launches, and easier future enhancements. Technologies and skills demonstrated include Svelte component design, prop-driven customization, backward-compatible defaults, and adherence to UI pattern conventions.
