Apr 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-04 (sillsdev/web-xforge): Focused UX enhancements, branding hardening, and navigation reliability improvements that reduce user friction and improve multi-tenant consistency. Delivered four areas of impact: 1) UI polish and cleanup (role selection text overflow fixed; outdated offline warning removed), 2) Draft generation UX improvements (warning when no training books available; exclude current project from draft sources), 3) Branding and login branding (generic logo for white-label sites; domain-aware branding at login; alternate logo when host differs), 4) Navigation flow tightening (project navigation: prevent unnecessary project-deleted dialog). These changes lower error rates, improve onboarding, and strengthen branding correctness across domains. Commit-level traceability is included below.

Oct 1, 2024October 2024 monthly summary for sillsdev/web-xforge: Delivered a robust fix for the landing page help URL by implementing locale-aware URL construction with a locale fallback, ensuring correct help links across locales. If a locale lacks a specific help page, the URL now defaults to an empty string instead of 'en', preventing incorrect URL generation. This change addresses SF-3062 and is tied to commit 0dda00b4134ed83951ad00cbb304958c4caa50cd. The fix reduces user confusion, potential support tickets, and improves localization reliability.
