Bitshares UI worker report

As we are coming closer to the end of the year I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone for their continued support to the worker to support the continued development of Bitshares-UI. Remember that all funding is fully transparent and visible on https://workers.bitshares.foundation/201808-bitshares-ui.

We've worked hard for the worker that was accepted this August, which can be read here.

You should also follow @sschiessl on Steemit or Whaleshares for updated reports on the development releases.

Please remember to vote for the worker to add your support

The following is a repost of my reply to the bitsharestalk.org forum thread.

It has been a crazy few months, and we've had MUCH work to do on the UI. Thanks to the funding from the community we've been able to have plenty of community support by react developers in various stages of exprience. The main team have had plenty to do and learned alot along the way. Remember that we've all started in the middle of the project at some time or another, none of us was in the start of this.

Just during the last month of the year we had plenty to do to add functionallity for globally settled assets that was added to the core a while ago. Since bitUSD, and plenty of other assets, suffered this from the fall of BTS price. The whole team enganged in added new functions and test them to make sure they worked as intended.

Despite comprehensive testing tries, we do sometimes have issues coming up afterwards. One of the biggest changes we did was also to change the release schedule to also have a 'Release Candidate' before the actual release. We do our best to catch issues before they get out to the main release, but since the team is still not a large one, we rely heavily on othes to help us test. Once an issue is identified in a release candidate that is major we will make a fix for it before we do another standard release. This has been a big change, and something we've had to grow into and find good ways to work with.

To visualize how much issues that have been created, addressed and closed by the team since the community started funding the worker of Bitshares-UI.

We appreciate the support from the community to be able to do this work, and to continue enhancing the UI.
