From YouTube: SNS Iteration Release

Description

Search Nav Support Iteration Release for Jun 19, 2023 - Jul 2, 2023

A

Eye disease today is June 19 at 29th, and this is our release. Video for search now with sport, group um and I will be the first one. This iteration we had a really good delivery. That was the getting started. Videos uh preferred the design and I did the code. Parts I will share my screen, so you can see it.

A

So this is our new page with all our video tutorials and yeah. That's it I mean we have some uh some improvements that we want, but we are going to do it as soon as possible, but yeah.

A

It looks really great and.

B

A

For me, I also uh had I received the new human translation for or enough and footer, so we are going to do the release today. For that and.

A

Okay, uh now it's Megan.

C

uh Yeah I have a few things, um nothing to show, but I'll do what I'm talking sorry.

C

um First off with the Marketo stuff um kind of received feedback, a little late than I expected I was like two days ago, but I got those updates made um and at this point, I think we're already just writing an hourly sign off um I think I got everything uh she called out.

C

uh Next was the six adding sixth sense to our nav. um That is uh ready to be reviewed, um just waiting on approval or merge, and then we have to make a nam release to our experience to get that working.

C

um This kind of leads me into my much longer point. One of the issues I worked on was looking into why the navigation is loading slowly on our site.

C

um First I started Gathering some data like benchmarks, something like this is kind of hard to eyeball our quality check with your eyes, because, even though it's slow for me, it's much slower for other people um and even if we're making like my new updates, that could be improving it's hard to tell so now.

C

I have like milliseconds on and when things are updating and mounting, and all that, so what I found in that process was, uh it's definitely slow, but the navigation is rendering and then it's updating and then it's updating again um looking into it. It is because of the uh audience functionality and that's demand base, and now we just switched to sixth sense or we will be, and six cents is an API call where demand base is not so demand base. We just had the script living in there and it was well.

C

It was kind of slowing things down.

C

um We just kind of had the customer information now, every time, a page loads we gotta talk to sixth sense to bring it back down um and that's adding about 100, more milliseconds, which isn't a lot, but when your nav is already slow, it's not a great uh great thing um so talking with Nathan who's working on adding six cents to the pricing page, maybe there's a way, an iteration of some sort.

C

After we get six cents working on the pricing in the nav, maybe there's a way we can just make this call once and store it somewhere and maybe an initial load. The nav is slow, but uh for coming from, like local storage or like a window like a GTM window, object or something a concurrent page loads won't be as slow. So that's something to look into, but um has a lot of experiments and uh messing around in the code for that. Moving on um the language selector and the footer I made some accessibility updates.

C

Those are done and they'll be live in Tammy's, nav release and then finally, uh the translated home page I worked on the German part of that. uh Thank you, Javi and Sammy for all your work on that um kind of manage the the release of all those languages and everything's working great um I. Think next is Hobby. I, don't have it pulled up, but yeah.

D

Yeah you're good. uh This iteration I worked on a little bit of things, um so I'm just gonna share my screen and I tried to have it organized all right. So this is the preference Center localized for uh German and Japanese I need to push this up. I keep getting those failing, builds so I just gotta resolve that. But this is pretty much figured out. We have to wait on the French one, which is awesome uh but yeah. That's that uh something that took a lot of my time.

D

This iteration is working on this uh devops and charity assessment, uh so this is released now and then we're gonna make some updates to the questions to make sure that they're up to date, uh something that I don't think Trevor has seen. I was gonna ping him earlier today, uh this guy's making some progress. This is the Integrations page, uh just some UI updates that need to be finished up, but I got a lot of this done yesterday, kind of after hours when folks were not pinging me, uh so that was awesome and I.

D

Think that's it. Oh uh one last thing: I worked through this uh tabbing links in the nav and footer. We had this weird issue where Safari and Firefox had weird Behavior, with the how tabbing worked uh related to accessibility holds up all this information. Pretty much found that, like this is default. Behavior for Mac OS, in particular, among different browsers I, have an MR up talking about accessibility and how this relates to these, essentially, like users, have to turn these on on their browsers on their end, and that's nothing that we can control.

D

So we uh kind of had some conversation about this, and then we just uh followed up with an MR. uh That's it for me up next John.

E

Thank you Holly. uh Well, for this iteration. Most of my time, we're invested on working on um great actions of the localized um of the language selector. So in buyer experience we have right now, uh when I use user clicks any link. uh If the user has, for example, French as their preferred language, the page should rate them to the next French localized page right now.

E

Currently we have uh the user is going to English page and then to the French page, so I removed that um that step and right now the users are redirected directly to to the page. um We found some box on that one. So I need to keep iterated on that one, uh but still working on that and also I work on improving our phones.

E

Loading in buyers experience so right now, I change it from uh getting the phones from an external uh source and right now we are going to locally uh load them, so that improves the speed of the of the phones, loading and that's it. For me, it's mostly uh coding so I do not have anything to share next. One is a travel.

F

Thanks John, uh so for uh this iteration um from the design side made some progress on the Q3 survey report. Experience so really excited how that's progressing as well as some things that we've been learning for from the q1 and Q2 release. It'll help support um uh how we approach Q3, so yeah really excited about the progress there also supported with design QA.

F

So the how-to videos landing page so great work, uh tme on that, and then the assessment experience so great work heavy on that so yeah that was my iteration I'll, pass it over to Lauren.

G

um ah Super big iteration for the team um did a little quick one at the beginning, which turned into kind of a big one. We renamed our Solutions AI page to get lab Duo and we announced that with the the gitlab 16 launch and um we've got access to Argo now and we have you know a a Dev environment set up and um me and Megan are starting to dive into our continuous localization platform.

B

And yeah so great iteration for SNS and we'll see everyone next week.
