Growth/Engineering/Weekly/2022/WW11
Growth engineering summary for March 14 – 18
We shipped a proof of concept video landing page (pilot) and the welcome survey opt-in checkbox (pilot). We got close to wrapping up the AND filtering for topics. We reviewed a number of patches for mentorship to unblock some of that work. And we worked on refactoring the post-edit dialog for add link iteration 2 (including some suggested edits module refactoring needed so it can be reused in the post-edit dialog), along with continued work for add link iteration 2.
Priorities
- "add link iteration 2" work
- [pilot] AND filtering for topics task T301825
- [pilot] proof-of-concept landing page with video task T302738
- [pilot] checkbox for email opt-in task T303240
