Final Client Meeting

  • Date: July 30th, 2026

Project Demonstration

  • We presented the final implementation of the remaining project features and collected client feedback before the final project presentation.
  • The client expressed satisfaction with the overall direction of the platform and confirmed that it now aligns much more closely with the original vision.

Features Demonstrated

Projects

  • Demonstrated the Projects feature, including:
    • Project approval workflow.
    • Donation links and fundraising goals.
    • Contributor tracking.
  • The client approved the overall implementation and suggested leaving payment integration for future development if needed.

Follow Feature

  • Presented the Follow feature, which is currently in testing.
  • We discussed how users should discover and follow each other.
  • It was agreed that, for now, users can follow others through event participant lists.
  • The client suggested notifying users when they are followed, with an option to follow back rather than automatically creating mutual follows.

Notifications

  • Demonstrated the in-app notification system.
  • Notifications currently support:
    • New followers (planned integration).
    • City-based event updates.
    • Badge awards.
  • Mobile push notifications were deferred due to Mini App limitations.

Badge System

  • Demonstrated:
    • Automatic badge awards.
    • Admin-managed badges.
    • Badge achievement pop-ups.
    • Badge management through the admin panel.
  • The client approved the implementation.

Alumni Roles

  • Demonstrated the new registration flow supporting Alumni and Alumni Friend roles.
  • Minor issues with changing roles for existing users were identified and planned for later fixes.

Admin Panel

  • Demonstrated the updated admin panel, including:
    • Badge management.
    • Project approval.
    • Improved dashboard statistics.
    • User management enhancements.
  • The client noted that the dashboard is more convenient than before.

Technical Discussion

Authentication

  • OTP verification and password recovery are functioning again after fixing the university email configuration.
  • The client preferred keeping the current verification workflow unchanged.

Infrastructure

  • Migration to the university servers remains incomplete due to unavailable infrastructure support.
  • Current hosting credentials and migration details will need to be transferred during the project handover.
  • Load testing showed slower performance on the current infrastructure, which is expected to improve after migration.

Client Feedback

  • The client confirmed satisfaction with the current state of the platform.
  • The implemented features were considered a significant improvement toward the intended product vision.
  • Remaining suggestions can continue to be addressed by the next development team during project handover.
