Lots of updates

It's been a while since my last post. I've been working on the project for several days a week since then, and have been making steady progress. I'll try to make more posts in general in the future.

The new UI animations

Animations have been tweaked in the UI to provide a more professional feel.

Bounty page

When transitioning between issues, the UI will now seamlessly animate between the pages, instead of navigating to a separate page. This reduces flickering.

Claim bounty flow

Now, when claiming a bounty, the dialog that comes up transitions from the bottom and upwards. In addition, a spinner has been added to the payment modal, and a count-up animation has been added to the bounty amount. Once again, there is no flickering.

The bounty verdict flow

Whenever someone says that they have solved an issue and want to claim the bounty, they submit a bounty claim request.

Once submitted, every person who added a bounty will need to vote on whether or not the given bounty claim request is legitimate. They'll receive an e-mail with a link to the verdict page.

Here's a screenshot of the bounty verdict UI the link leads to.

If a person doesn't vote and 14 days have passed, the system will assume that the person voted the same as the majority of the existing votes.

If no person votes at all and 14 days have passed, the default action of each vote will be to redistribute the funds into the open source community.

Way more

I've been adding a CI pipeline, made a new dashboard (more on that next week I think), added e-mail support to the backend, and added a new e-mail verification flow which I think you'll like (more on that later too).
