Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10 — Delivered a comprehensive Email Delivery platform within KnightHacks/forge, including a unified Email Dashboard with scheduling, a robust queue system (priority delivery, blacklist rules, daily sending limits) and integration with Resend for sending. Added UI components for composing and scheduling, admin sections, and Discord status updates to improve visibility and control. Also introduced an Email Testing Page for end-to-end QA validation of email flows. Achieved reliability and quality gains through iterative bug fixes (notably scheduling fixes) and code-quality improvements (lint/format iterations). These deliverables reduce risk of high-volume sending, improve deliverability governance, and provide operational visibility for stakeholders.
