Greetings BlockDAG Community,
Weekly Developer
Update
As it's the weekend, let's begin with a quick recap of this
week's activities and then dive into the latest updates on our mobile
application.
Sprint Planning
We kicked off this week with
a sprint planning session where we discussed all the tasks and aligned them with the
team according to their capacity. The major functionalities tackled this week
included the sign-in/sign-up module and deep referral. Additionally, we focused on a
few enhancements from a security standpoint, such as hiding the user's balance and
showing the dollar equivalent of BDAG coins.
Mid-Week
Achievements
By mid-week, we achieved a new user onboarding flow,
which was then moved to the testing phase. All the other enhancements and features
were also transitioned to testing. Last week, we encountered an issue while trying
to upload the latest build on TestFlight due to an error from Apple's team. We had
to get in touch with Apple to resolve the issue. Once resolved, we successfully
moved the latest build to the Apple Store.
Stakeholder Meeting and
Requirement Adjustments
Later in the week, we had a meeting with the
stakeholders to discuss the requirements for the PIN lock and mining history page.
However, it was concluded that these requirements could be deprioritized for now.
Instead, we decided to focus on supporting social media integration, which was added
to the current sprint.
Huawei App Store Submission
In
parallel, we submitted the application to the Huawei App Store. The application went
live in two days, but unfortunately, we are facing challenges going live in India
and Indonesia. We are actively working with the Huawei team to resolve these
issues.
Blockchain Explorer in this sprint
This sprint
also involved several internal and external demos of the blockchain explorer with
stakeholders. We identified and need to resolve several design and
redirection-related bugs at the development level.
Today's update on User Onboarding Module Testing
Here's a quick update on the latest testing of the user onboarding
module.
Issues Identified
During testing, our QA team
identified a few bugs in the module, primarily in the OTP functionality:
- OTP Resend Bug: When the user clicks on "Resend OTP," the loader gets stuck on the screen. This issue has been reported and is currently being addressed.
- Groups Filter Message: There is also an issue related to the text message in the groups filter. The message will be updated to be more specific, such as "Looks like there are no active users using your referral code."
Along with these two major bugs there are few minor bugs that are not blocker for the
user but can be a good to have changes in the application.
We are working
diligently to resolve these issues to ensure a smooth user experience. Stay tuned
for more updates!
Today's Explorer Updates
We're excited to share the latest updates on the explorer!
Design Changes
and Feedback
The recent design changes are now complete and have
been deployed on the explorer. We received feedback from external stakeholders
yesterday, which included the following adjustments:
- Clickable Text Color: When users hover over clickable text, it will now change color for better visibility.
- Text Replacements: We have replaced instances of "Blocks" with "Transactions" for clearer terminology.
- Footer Improvement: The footer still needs enhancement to include social media links. We aim to have this updated by early next week.
Upcoming Launch
We are on track to make the explorer live at the
start of next week, allowing users to embark on this exciting journey with
us.
What Users Can Check
As this is the devnet
environment, users can explore the following:
- Blocks and Transactions: Users can view blocks and see the transactions within them. Please note that these blocks and transactions are for testing purposes only and do not represent real transactions.
- Interact with the Explorer: Users can interact with the
explorer by using the faucet to make test transactions.
Faucet Interaction Limits
- Transaction Limit: Each address can only make one transaction per 24 hours.
- Balance Limit: There is a limit on the balance an address can hold.
We are eager to see users engage with the explorer and provide their valuable
feedback. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the official
launch!
Have a great weekend!
