Over three months, Marijus Smiginas developed the cryptotradingsimulator repository, establishing a robust foundation for a cryptocurrency trading simulator. He set up the project’s scaffolding with React and Node.js, enabling parallel frontend and backend development. Marijus implemented internationalization using react-i18next, supporting English and Lithuanian interfaces with persistent language preferences. He enhanced development and production readiness by configuring WebSocket support for local development, tightening CORS policies, and introducing environment-based API endpoints. Through TypeScript and Redux, he refactored UI components such as the user balance chart for clarity and maintainability, resulting in a secure, demo-ready codebase prepared for future expansion.

May 2025 Monthly Summary for marijustechin/cryptotradingsimulator: - Key features delivered: Demo Environment Setup and UI Enhancements consolidating changes to improve development and production readiness. Implemented localhost WebSocket for local development, introduced a new production API URL, tightened CORS policy for security, and added UI polish with cryptocurrency icons. Updated README to clearly mark the project as a demo. Refactored the user balance chart and borrowing logic to improve clarity and usability. - Major bugs fixed: No explicit bug-fix tickets recorded this month; focus was on readiness and refactors that reduce ambiguity and edge-case risk. - Overall impact and accomplishments: ADEM- improved development and demo readiness, better security posture, clearer UI, and more maintainable code. This sets a stable, demo-ready baseline for stakeholder demonstrations and faster onboarding of new contributors. - Technologies/skills demonstrated: WebSocket-based local development, production API configuration, CORS hardening, UI/icon polish, documentation updates, and targeted code refactoring (balance chart and borrowing logic).

February 2025: Laid the foundation for the Crypto Trading Simulator project with full scaffolding. Implemented configuration/files, a README with overview and planned features, and basic client-side routing with a placeholder home page; started server-side structure with empty backend files to enable parallel frontend/backend development. This groundwork enables rapid feature delivery and clearer roadmap execution.
