Major bugs fixed: - Resolved toast rendering errors and font sizing issues; stabilized unified toaster usage and ensured transaction toasts display correctly. - Fixed data fetching issues in the Activity tab across token types and improved loading/error states; ensured compatibility with legacy ActivityCard structures. - Corrected conditional rendering logic for quests/achievements tabs and updated bottom navigation to hide unavailable features. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved user feedback loops in marketplace transactions and activity tracking, leading to faster user decisions and reduced support friction. - Achieved cross-repo consistency in UI patterns, typography, and component lifecycles, enabling faster iteration and more reliable releases. - Strengthened integration between frontend UI components and controller-driven toast notifications, including iframe contexts, which broadens applicability for embedded experiences in games and web apps. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - React component design and state management, design system and typography tokens (LD_Mono). - Cross-repo UI/UX integration, ControllerToaster patterns, and iframe-safe notification strategies. - Data fetching optimization, loading states, and accessibility considerations in Activity views. - Dependency management and build hygiene through coordinated updates across UI, controller, and arcade repos. Total commits across repositories: 11 across 3 repos, reflecting substantial delivery and polish across UI components, controller UI, and arcade features.
