Yizhou Zhou contributed to the RISDxNASA-SUITS/SUITS-25 repository by developing and refining interactive map features using React, TypeScript, and JavaScript. Over two months, Yizhou enhanced map navigation with a revamped zoom control UI, implemented reusable components like TertiaryButton, and introduced voice note recording and playback for streamlined audio annotations. They improved localization by translating map interface elements and addressed data integrity issues by synchronizing POI name edits and enabling inline editing for hazard marker labels. Yizhou’s work focused on UI/UX improvements, robust state management, and dynamic DOM manipulation, resulting in a more intuitive and efficient mapping experience.

Month: May 2025 | Repository: RISDxNASA-SUITS/SUITS-25 Summary: - Delivered two focused improvements on the map editing workflow: fixed POI name edit synchronization to ensure edits persist and the UI reflects updated names; and added inline editable hazard marker labels with dynamic input creation and data binding to the marker. Impact: - Improved data integrity for POI management and faster, more intuitive map labeling, reducing manual correction time and user friction. Accomplishments: - Aligns UI state with underlying data model across editing flows; supports smoother content iteration for mission planning maps. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - JavaScript/DOM manipulation for dynamic inputs and live updates; state management and data binding; UX refinement for editing interfaces.

April 2025 performance summary for RISDxNASA-SUITS/SUITS-25. Focused on UX enhancements for mapping, lightweight audio note capabilities, and translation cleanup. Key outcomes include a Zoom Controls Revamp across Map/UI with a reusable TertiaryButton and improved layout, enabling faster map navigation. Implemented Voice Notes Recording and Playback with a straightforward start/stop UI and playback, enabling quick audio annotations. Performed BasicMap Translation Cleanup to English, replacing Chinese '分割线' with 'divider' without changing behavior. These efforts improve user productivity, reduce friction in data exploration, and strengthen frontend code quality through reusable components and better localization support.
