Stilla contributed to the polarsource/polar repository over three months, delivering fifteen features and resolving seven bugs focused on reliability, user experience, and policy clarity. She enhanced API endpoints and database management using Python and FastAPI, introducing timezone-aware metrics and robust webhook processing to improve data accuracy and system resilience. Her work included OAuth integration, seat-based billing improvements, and UI refinements in React and JavaScript, addressing both backend and frontend needs. Stilla also expanded technical documentation and policy coverage, clarified discount logic, and optimized performance for pending orders, demonstrating a thorough, end-to-end approach to building maintainable, user-focused platform features.
March 2026 — Polarsource/polar: Focused on reliability, UX, and billing accuracy. Delivered webhook reliability and payload safeguards (including a data guard hoisted before event type checks and explicit missing-data protection), idempotence safeguards to preserve correct outcomes on permanent failures, OAuth login UX improvements (redirect to return URL for already-authenticated users), and seat-based billing clarity with enhanced proration messaging in the customer portal. Also shipped UI and formatting improvements (zero-decimal currency handling in OrderSummary, ProductSelect font cleanup, and null-safe organization details UI) and a performance optimization for pending orders via eager loading of related data. Completed stability-focused maintenance (dependency updates) to reduce risk.

February 2026 — Polarsource/polar: Focused on policy clarity, documentation for checkout discounts, and backoffice UX/analytics consistency. Delivered enhancements include IPTV Acceptable Use Policy expansion to cover IPTV services and software/platform enabling IPTV delivery, comprehensive documentation of auto-application of preset discounts across Checkout Links, and backoffice improvements including counting/displaying Enabled Benefits, terminology standardization, and UI formatting. These changes improve policy enforcement, reduce support inquiries around discounts, and provide admins with consistent, actionable metrics. Technical milestones include new analytics integration points and several documentation improvements, plus a lint fix for maintainability.

January 2026 — Polarsource/polar: Delivered three business-impact features with a focus on data accuracy, user clarity, and UI consistency. Key features delivered: Meter Quantities API Timezone Support (adds timezone parameter and aligns database session timezone to match the metrics endpoint), Transactional Email Settings Clarification (renames and adds descriptions to clarify transactional emails after purchases and subscription events), BenefitGrantOAuth Button Style Update (updates button variants to secondary for better visual hierarchy). Major bugs fixed: Fixed timezone handling in the meter quantities endpoint to ensure correct interpretation across time zones and align with the metrics endpoint (Refs #9075). Impact: improved data accuracy for multi-region users, clearer transactional messaging, and enhanced UI consistency. Technologies/skills demonstrated: TZ-aware API changes, database session timezone management, REST endpoint enhancements, frontend UI refinements in line with design guidelines.
