There have been multiple improvements

For this project, we used TypeScript and JavaScript on the frontend with frameworks like Next.js for the dashboard and React Native with Expo for mobile. The backend was built with Python and Django, using PostgreSQL for database and Django REST Framework for APIs. This robust Tech Stack ensured scalable and efficient solutions aligned with their goals. Following user feedback, Happyly enhanced their app with advanced machine learning for better-personalized recommendations and streamlined subscription processes.

Camila, I really appreciate the extra efforts you have made on the app this months. I feel you went above and beyond to create scalable solutions consistent with the existing design. You achieved far more than I thought was going to be possible going in, and the new version of the app gives me a lot more confidence to go into sales mode.

I've dm'd you a gift card code for Amazon as thanks.

Every Mother

A quick shoutout to Melt, it's been several months now and it's clear that our new dev team has been crushing expectations all around. Shoutout to Camila who has been killing it on uhc and flex, especially on uhc, which basically gave us documentation for a platform that only exists in their dreams. Considering she's doing this without a test environment which uhc guaranteed us, Camila has put in a lot of elbow grease to make this implementation seemingly smooth sailing. Additional shoutouts to Yuli and Miguel who both have stepped into the shoes of past RPS teammates to support internal operational functions as well as put the pedal on the gas to churn out product developments. Lastly to Yulys and Austin who have seamlessly taken in the project reigns from Natali alongside the rest of Melt. Special shoutout to Sebastian who is always helping from the shadows but more recently has been contributing a great deal of effort to help resolve some longstanding revenue analytics issues. So thank you to our Melt teammates for being able to hop in immediately, helping EM put some very big pieces into place at this critical moment of our company's growth! 🎉🎉
