Week 9 Highlights (26/06/2024 - 02/07/2024)


Week 9: Overcoming Challenges and Optimizing Performance

This week was focused on resolving critical issues and optimizing project assets.

I successfully addressed all bugs identified during the M1 PM demo, resulting in the creation and merging of M1.7(a) PR. This accomplishment brings me closer to reaching the Milestone 1 .

A significant challenge arose due to increased image size within the assets/images folder, which exceeded the 32MB limit for release. To resolve this, I collaborated with the server and org admins to optimize the release candidate size. Their support was instrumental in overcoming this obstacle.

By optimizing image sizes and implementing the necessary changes, I ensured that the project remains on track for the upcoming release.

These changes included: Specifying the Lighthouse suites for which I aim to achieve a perfect score of 1.0. Providing a sample implementation for tracking the event ‘A user viewed the XYZ page for the first time within a week/month’ using Google Analytics. Finalizing the donor box form after insightful discussions with the design team and Team Lead. In addition to these tasks, I engaged in conversations with the Design team for minor UI modifications and the Partnerships team for document management.
