In our latest bi-weekly development cycle, we've honed in on the MVP: Investor Portal, focusing on elevating the user experience, bolstering system reliability, and streamlining code efficiency. This period has seen a myriad of enhancements and fixes, aiming to refine every facet of the portal. Here's a comprehensive overview of the strides made in this direction.

UI/UX Improvements

• Navigation and Usability Enhancements: A close button has now been added to the dashboard drawer, significantly improving navigation ease. Additionally, the implementation of mui-tel-input for telephone number inputs marks a significant step forward in form usability.

• Visual Consistency: Efforts have been made to apply consistent styles across various components, ensuring a coherent and aesthetically pleasing interface.

Functional Enhancements

• System Stability and User Experience: We've addressed a crucial issue with the missing 2FA enable notification, which was previously being unintentionally dismissed due to useEffect interactions. Alongside this, numerous system stability improvements have been made.

• Dropdown and Modal Layout Enhancements: The functionality of dropdowns has been extended to open on fullname click, and modal layouts have been updated for better content organization.

Input & Form Improvements

• Streamlined Codebase: The removal of unnecessary controller wrappers simplifies the codebase, while attempts to fix phone input inconsistencies ensure more reliable data entry.

• Security and User Flow: We've established a singular point of entry for user logout, bolstering security and streamlining user flow. Additionally, the onboarding state is now cleared upon logout, addressing data persistence issues.

Code Optimization & Bug Fixes

• System Stability: A critical fix has been implemented to address crashes on login, significantly enhancing system stability.

• Flexibility in Information Submission: The portal now supports the submission of partial information on onboarding pages, providing users with greater flexibility.

• User Experience Enhancements: Adjustments have been made to ensure information completed in an onboarding step persists across navigation, thereby enhancing the user experience. Layout inconsistencies between the Profile and Security account subsections have been rectified.

• Modal Usability: The functionality to click outside to dismiss for 2FA modals has been disabled, preventing accidental closures.

Responsiveness & Accessibility

• Responsive Design: Significant improvements have been made to ensure a responsive design across the Investor Portal, covering the dashboard home page, profile details, and the onboarding wizard.

• Mobile Usability: Modals have been enhanced to occupy the whole screen size on mobile devices, improving usability.

• Content Visibility and Layout Consistency: Fixes implemented ensure content visibility and layout consistency across devices, accommodating a wide range of users and usage scenarios.

These updates are a testament to our commitment to providing a seamless, stable, and secure user experience on the Blubird platform. By addressing key areas of improvement and continually refining the platform, we aim to meet and exceed the expectations of our users, making their journey as intuitive and efficient as possible. As we move forward, we remain dedicated to innovation and improvement, ensuring that the Investor Portal remains at the forefront of user-centric design and functionality.
