Sircles Work Session

Sircles Standup Recap –

Business Profile Deep Link Enhancements

The team reviewed updates to the business profile deep link flow, focusing on handling edge cases when users don’t have the app installed. After App Store download and onboarding, users are now reliably redirected to the correct business profile. This was tested across multiple devices and flows to ensure a smooth experience.

Rewards Feed Post Styling Update

Wells finalized styling for feed posts generated by reward redemptions. These posts now include the reward name, business, and a timestamp. The layout feels cohesive with the rest of the feed, and it's ready to go into testing. The aim is to subtly spotlight engagement with local businesses and encourage more reward store usage.

Testing Uploads and Crash Fixes

A bug related to uploading large media files in chat was flagged and tested. The update to improve upload reliability (including feedback to the user and retries) has significantly reduced failure rates. Meanwhile, a memory-related crash triggered by reward redemption logic was identified and patched.

Marker Refresh Issue Fully Resolved

The stale marker bug when toggling between map and list views is confirmed fixed. QA validated multiple transitions, and no lingering stale data was reported. Ismail's data refresh logic now ensures a clean map every time.

Flatlist Scrolling Lag Isolated

The team narrowed down the source of scrolling lag to a conflict between animated headers and Flatlist re-renders. A plan is in place to refactor the header logic and test whether it alleviates the performance issues.
