Role and Introduction

Rushali is the Lead Frontend developer at PIVX Labs - utilising her vast computing-academia to push the development of Labs Oracle, PIVX Rewards, PIVCards, Vector and additional projects further, particularly in areas of frontend work.

---

Progress Report

These last three months, Rushali complete the frontend of our new monitoring platform, Labs Pulse, while helping extend the development of Vector's UI by completing the new Emoji Redesign, creating a new Context Menu UI system for extensive customisation and shortcut additions in Vector, as well as a high level of development towards Widescreen Mode, featuring a multi-panel view of Vector to maximize screen utility in wide formats.

---

Labs Pulse - Complete!
Rushali designed and launched the Labs Pulse frontend, with real-time feeds of the entire ecosystem is an easy-to-glance format, enabling rapid infrastructure assessments for both the internal PIVX teams and the PIVX community itself.

---

Vector Emoji Redesign - Complete!
Rushali spent a few months on-and-off polishing the design of Vector's new Emoji Panel, a Discord-like design with our own compact, snappy, vivid format:

Aligned to the original design spec, this panel is futureproofed for Custom Emoji Support, once the backend of Vector is equipped to handle it, Vector will now easily support the integration and display of custom emojis across all areas of the platform.

---

Vector Context Menus - Complete!
Rushali spent a few weeks perfecting the design of our Context Menus, allowing the ability for us to add new shortcuts and context menus for a compact feature set in a nicely displayed package - soon you'll be able to right-click delete messages, block, change settings, all within contextual bounds of elements all around Vector (for example: right-clicking on Chats, Profiles, Messages, etc).

---

Vector Widescreen - In Progress!
Rushali has spent a significant amount of time building Widescreen mode for Vector, a Discord-like experience that vastly improves the UX and screen availability for Widescreen users of Vector, using screen space in a panel-style design for maximum efficiency, with optional tabbing to close panels for extended space.

Widescreen mode will be showcased within the coming days, as previous Vector UI features begin merging and finalising before being rebased on Vector Widescreen.

---

Proposal Plans
These plans are ordered by priority, with the top-most items receiving the most attention and lower-most being "spare-time" ventures.
Plans may also change or expand during the proposal's timeframe, all work in which will be documented by PIVX Labs and reported on accordingly.

---

Labs Cleanup
The various services around PIVX Labs are in need of a consistency cleanup - with almost every Labs website, platform, and mini-app having a different design, as well as different level of quality, these few cycles will see much work put in to the consistency of PIVX Labs platforms for a full design unification.

The goal of the cleanup is to cross-reference the majority of our platforms and unify our styles, making it easier to assemble a consistent set of tools, apps and platforms under the PIVX brand without feeling fragmented.

Additionally, polish will be applied across apps in areas where - as some succeed, others do not, such as the fragmentation in UX for PIVX Promos (now named PIVX Gift Codes), MPW and the official Redeemer app have very different flows, designs, and brand schemes, all of this must be unified for a consistent, recognizable, congruent brand and user experience.

The majority of the brand and guidance decisions will be assisted by YuurinBee and JSKitty, while Rushali implements the changes and brings the 'taste of PIVX' across all of our platforms and apps respectively.

---

Vector Widescreen Mode
Rushali will be continuing her work on Widescreen Mode, likely for a handful of releases while we fine-tune for different displays, DPIs, mobiles (foldables, landscape) and multi-monitor setups.

---

Vector Custom Emojis: Stage 2
If applicable backend time is acquired that enables the integration of Custom Emojis (uploadable packs), Rushali will be implementing the UI to upload, manage, share, and equip custom emoji packs within Vector - this step relies entirely on backend availability, but will be undertaken if the system becomes available for her to build on top of.

Hey JSKitty,

There are too many proposals and too little time to do proper 'Due Diligence' on every proposal every month. But, this cycle, I decided to 'deep dive' into this one a bit.

Based on GitHub, it looks like Rushali isn't contributing much anymore, and hasn't for some time.

I'm seeing ZERO commits from her in the old and new Vector repos since Jun 26 until today. The exception are 2 you co-authored with her mid Oct. That's 4 months of no activity.
Old Vector Repo: https://github.com/JSKitty/Vector/commits?author=RushaliPadhiary
New Vector Repo: https://github.com/VectorPrivacy/Vector/commits?author=RushaliPadhiary

For MPW I am seeing only 1 commit that is a Hindi translation.
MPW: https://github.com/PIVX-Labs/MyPIVXWallet/commits?author=RushaliPadhiary

For the Pulse site, I see 7 commits in Aug.
Pulse site: https://github.com/PIVX-Labs/Labs-Pulse/commits?author=RushaliPadhiary


The above proposal 'reads' well - and it looks awesome. But I need to see demonstrated value, and I can't see it in GitHub. What am I missing?

Also, in my mind, it should be a requirement that team members are in Discord etc., and I don't see Rushali anywhere. Even all her normal social accounts like LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, GitHub, Medium, Twitter, HackerRank, etc. etc. are all largely brand new and empty accounts/profiles.

Hard to be able to trust someone when you can see their work, chat with them, see them in conversation with their peers, or learn anything about them personally either.

Cheers,

Eric

[...] too little time to do proper 'Due Diligence' on every proposal every month, But, this cycle, I decided to 'deep dive' into this one a bit.

All good.

I'm seeing ZERO commits from her in the old and new Vector repos since Jun 26 until today. The exception are 2 you co-authored with her mid Oct. That's 4 months of no activity.

You have forgot to check Vector's branches, where the work is actually done (master branch is completed work, while I myself typically commit straight to master, all other developers work via branches and forks until I approve and merge).

All the work quoted in her report (and associated branch/PR):
- Labs Pulse Frontend: (link)
- Vector Emoji Redesign: (link)
- Vector Context Menus / Inline Settings (link)
- Vector Widescreen (link)

Between those four links is a total of 30 commits (unique/deduplicated by AI), I've given a ping to immediately commit any pending work (regardless of state) in the morning, as I know there is a good amount of code still backed up, given she's been sending me progress screenshots over the last few days.

Both the last branches (context menus + widescreen) are functionally complete but still need some UI polish, so haven't been merged yet, she also typically pushes "in bulk" rather than smaller commits like myself, although I agree it looks sparse, she's absolutely working, it's just branched and on tasks that generally don't need to be 'broken down'.

An example shot for the "Widescreen" work sent by her earlier today.

Generally, the last month has been spent on Widescreen, it's very tricky to get right, particularly as it's being built with Group Chats in mind (member lists in a triple-panel setup), and as you can tell from the image, there's a bit of final polish left to do).

Also, in my mind, it should be a requirement that team members are in Discord etc.,

Much of the Labs team has already started transferring away from Discord to Vector, I myself do not plan on staying on Discord for long, nor does Luke, it was only coincidence she left first and earliest for the Vector switch than the rest of the team.

Even all her normal social accounts like LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, GitHub, Medium, Twitter, HackerRank, etc. etc. are all largely brand new and empty accounts/profiles.

Can't argue there, though that's more a personal affair of hers to decide, regarding account and identity publicity, it just means we have to have tighter reporting systems, so we have less reliance on public identities for "Proof of Work" rather than the actual work (commits, code, value).
