Sivert Lunde contributed to the NDLANO/ndla-frontend repository by delivering user-facing features and maintaining frontend stability over three months. He implemented dynamic theming for the welcome page and footer using React Context API and Styled Components, enabling server-driven branding experiments without client changes. Sivert enhanced user clarity in learning paths by distinguishing external content through isExternal handling in ArticleByline. He also upgraded core dependencies with npm and Node.js, improving security and maintainability. His work included activating and aligning the footer’s 'Contact us' link, updating tests, and cleaning up obsolete code, reflecting a focus on code quality and user experience.

April 2025 - NDLA frontend: delivered feature enhancements and maintenance that improve learner clarity and system stability. Key features delivered include the External Content Byline Enhancement in Learning Path, enabling a clear distinction for external steps by introducing isExternal handling and rendering bylineType as external. Major maintenance activity consisted of Dependency Upgrades for ndla-frontend, upgrading core libraries (e.g., @apollo/client, @dnd-kit/core, @ndla/article-converter, @ndla/editor, @ndla/editor-components, @ndla/ui) and pinning the editor package to a newer version to improve stability and security.
