November 2024 – uva-math-code focused on delivering user-centric features, stabilizing the codebase, and elevating content quality. Key features delivered include pronoun support in user profiles/UI and the calendar single-view display now showing the year. A refactor to move hello() to its own file was implemented and subsequently reverted to preserve existing behavior. Data model cleanup simplified the areas schema by removing grad_special_areas and grad_general_areas. Extensive documentation and UI updates across multiple pages and Markdown/HTML content were completed, alongside tests and new content components (including postdoc tests). Public communications were refreshed with Schafer Prize news posts, and assets were updated (tome.png). Overall, the month reduced technical debt, improved accessibility, and enabled faster feature delivery while improving maintainability and readiness for future work.
