Noelia contributed to the status-im/status-desktop repository by architecting and delivering modular UI components, notification systems, and cross-platform features over 13 months. She focused on maintainable, scalable solutions, such as migrating to Qt6, unifying Activity Center logic, and refactoring chat and community modules for better state management and UI consistency. Using C++, QML, and JavaScript, Noelia implemented responsive layouts, localization, and robust navigation, addressing both user experience and developer productivity. Her work included roadmap progress automation, improved onboarding, and enhanced notification handling, resulting in a codebase with reduced technical debt, clearer architecture, and improved accessibility for ongoing product evolution.

March 2026 delivered a unified Activity Center experience, improved profile customization, and enhanced translations, targeting both user value and maintainability. The Activity Center was modernized into a single AppMain–driven floating panel, with a new notifications adapter that maps backend models to UI roles, centralized presentation, and streamlined lifecycle management. Legacy Activity Center logic was removed, reducing fragmentation and stabilizing the UI, while leftPanelWidthOverride wiring enabled smooth panel expansion without reparenting. UI layout fixes (HomePage and NodeLayout) ensured compatibility with the floating panel and introduced a scrollable content area for breathing room. Profile customization was enhanced with support for empty display names via StatusInput.allowEmpty, refined validation, and updated verification icons for a cleaner profile presentation. Open Tabs translations were updated for better internationalization and HTML font tags were removed from translatable strings to improve maintainability. Overall, these changes reduce technical debt, improve developer velocity, and deliver tangible business value through a cleaner UX, more robust interactions, and better accessibility and localization support.

February 2026 focused on delivering user-visible navigation polish, onboarding improvements, and robust notification UI for status-desktop, with a strong emphasis on responsive behavior and safe-area compliance. Key deliverables included navigation UI polish and popup handling across the main navigation, status dialogs, and related layouts; notification UI enhancements with letter avatars and quick actions; and navigation education popups with per-install persistence. Major bug fixes addressed UI layout stability (StatusDialog height and header layout), proper overlay and click-through handling for sidebars, and preventing unintended popups from tooltips. The combined work improves cross-device usability, reduces layout glitches, and delivers a cleaner, more approachable onboarding experience.

December 2025 focused on delivering a comprehensive Activity Center overhaul in status-desktop, enhancing user notifications, UI consistency, and developer maintainability. Key outcomes include a new ActivityCenterPanel, integrated top bar, NotificationCard with a fully mocked NotificationsModel, and a refreshed empty-state design with updated translations. The work also included extensive type-system refactors (ActivityCenterTypes) and API cleanup (moving enums and read types), UI refinements (StatusRollArea/StatusNavigationButton updates, hover polish), and targeted stability fixes that eliminate runtime warnings and guard against undefined values. These changes improve user engagement with richer, more reliable notifications and reduce future maintenance costs, while supporting faster iteration via a Storybook/testing page and multi-language support.
