When migrating or refactoring a large platform like Reimpact, cleaning up legacy database structures is a common but delicate task. Foreign key constraints can often block the removal of tables, requiring a careful approach to avoid data loss or application downtime.
In this case, the deploy process was failing during the removal of
This post discusses how to create idempotent database migrations, specifically focusing on preventing duplicate table errors within the Reimpact/platform project.
During development and deployment, database migrations are essential for evolving the application's schema. However, if migrations are not carefully designed, they can lead to issues, particularly when the same
In the Reimpact platform, keeping users informed about the status of long-running packaging uploads is crucial. To improve the user experience, we've introduced a polling mechanism to the massive uploads table. This enhancement ensures that users receive near-real-time updates without needing to manually refresh the page.
Previously, users had to rely on manual
When working with HTML5 canvas and libraries like html2canvas for rendering web content into images, unexpected rendering issues can arise. One common problem is incorrect vertical text centering, particularly when dealing with text overlays. This post explores a fix for this issue by explicitly setting the line height for text elements before rendering.
The Breniapp project focuses on providing innovative solutions. Recent development efforts have centered on improving the carousel feature, addressing formatting issues, data capture, and download capabilities.
The latest updates to the carousel functionality in Breniapp include several key improvements:
The carousel now dynamically adjusts
In the Breniapp project, we encountered an issue where html2canvas was misrendering flexbox alignments, specifically items-center and items-end. This resulted in text overlays appearing shifted during the capture process. To address this, we implemented a strategy to temporarily convert flex wrappers to absolute-positioned elements before the capture and then restore them
When building user onboarding flows, visual consistency and attention to detail can significantly impact the user experience. Even small UI tweaks can make a big difference in how polished and professional your application feels. Recent work on the onboarding flow in the brenia project focused on addressing several such details.
One area of focus was the
In the latest iteration of Breniapp, we've focused on enhancing the user interface (UI) to improve navigation, clarity, and overall experience. These changes aim to make the application more intuitive and efficient for users.
The primary navigation has been reordered to reflect a more logical workflow.
En el proyecto landing, nos encontramos constantemente optimizando la experiencia del usuario y la eficiencia del código. Recientemente, identificamos un método que, aunque bien intencionado, estaba impactando negativamente el rendimiento y la usabilidad de los selectores: getOptionLabelsUsing().
El método getOptionLabelsUsing() tenía la función de precargar y mostrar las
