@p3310m4 let me know if you have any questions about my comments here or if you want a screenshot of the badge award modal for TJ to put into the nice phone frame of the existing screenshot. It's close, but there was a little bit that's incorrect incorrect and there might be some opportunities to reduce some redundancy.

This part isn't true. Someone else built the app, they were bought out by a large company who no longer wanted to support Clean Swell, and then they hired us to replace their former vendor. I'm surprised Ocean Conservancy approved this language.

Oh I see this is talked about much further down. Maybe this edit would make it work?

This feature we actually took over the finish line when we took on the project. The previous vendor started the feature but didn't finish or launch it. Perhaps this language would be more accurate, but should probably be run by someone else for tone/messaging:

| <li>Finished and launched the Trash Trap data collection flow after inheriting unfinished work from previous vendor.</li> | |

| <p>One of the Clean Swell app’s most empowering features is accessibility. Volunteers don’t need to participate in a large, organized event to contribute. Even an individual cleanup conducted alone or with family can be recorded and incorporated into the larger global database. This reinforces that individual action matters and contributes to the broader international mission.</p> | ||

The part I remove in this suggestion feels a little redundant if you've read everything before this.

| <p>The app includes gamification elements to increase volunteer engagement. Volunteers earn badges for participation, including limited-time badges for special campaigns (e.g., Shark Week or the annual International Coastal Cleanup initiative). SmartLogic improved badge visibility to enhance the reward moment for the user.</p> | ||

I expected an image of the badge award modal here, right after

| <p>Before new feature work could begin, SmartLogic’s first step was to stabilize the foundation: upgrading React Native, updating third-party dependencies, and addressing breaking changes in the libraries. This critical step stabilized development, enabling the team to improve existing features and build new ones.</p> | ||

| <p>SmartLogic expanded support beyond the mobile app by taking on the Node-based API server used by the application. This allows for tighter coordination across app and backend changes, improving delivery efficiency.</p> |

Nearly this same sentence is on line 55 above, but maybe we want some sections to stand alone for the selective reader?

| <p>Cleanups are an outdoor activity. Often, the areas where volunteers are participating in a cleanup effort have weak connectivity. But the data still needs to be captured and logged into the database. To address asynchronous reporting, SmartLogic improved offline support so volunteers can record cleanup data in the moment and submit it once connectivity is restored.</p> |
