Oct 1, 2025

October 2025 monthly summary: Delivered key updates and bug fixes across two Hack Club repositories, enhancing data accuracy, repository navigation, and data integrity. The YSWS reviews data retrieval bug was resolved by tightening the SQL query to correctly select eligible projects and retrieve related metrics (devlogs count, total coded duration) along with the latest ELO score. In YSWS-Catalog, the GitHub link was corrected to point to the Hack Club repository, and date formatting in data.yml was standardized to 2025-12-01. These changes improve analytics reliability, user experience, and data consistency, enabling better decision-making and project visibility.
