Allie

Yesterday:

Helped review and merge https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/pull/944 and opened a couple followup scalability issues around sync timing out and taking a long time with 1000 sources

Set up my staging instance for 1000 sources by changing the qa_loader.py script to create 1000 sources but somehow ended up with 24987 sources so nuked everything and rebuilt staging and went back to the original idea to use create-dev-data.py which worked

Opened https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/pull/1002 (don't allow Cancel when transferring files)

Reviewed and merged https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/pull/1003 (stop star hover on click)

Today:

  • Reviewed the small export change allie put up last night, put up the release PR for client, added tags in the relevant repos. Will review mickaels release related PRs.
