Subject: Re: GSoC 2026 Interest - Front End Application MVP

Hi Alberto,

Thank you for sharing the repository! I've gone through the codebase and
the README carefully, and I have a much clearer picture of the project now.
Here are my observations and a few questions:

What I noticed:
- The stack is well-chosen: React + TypeScript with Vite, Tailwind CSS +
ShadCN UI, Redux Toolkit, and an OpenAPI-generated Fineract client. This is
a modern, maintainable setup.
- The project structure is clean and well-organized, separating
fineract-api, hooks, pages, and layout into their own directories makes the
codebase easy to navigate.
- I noticed there are 8 open Pull Requests currently, I'd love to review
those to understand what's actively being worked on.
- The repo is still marked as "not recommended for deployment" and is work
in progress, which tells me there's meaningful GSoC scope to contribute.

My questions:
1. Which pages/features are already functional (e.g., login, balance
checking, transfers) and which ones are still missing or incomplete?
2. Are there any known issues with the OpenAPI-generated Fineract client
that contributors should be aware of? I saw there's an ISSUES.md
specifically for this.
3. For the GSoC MVP scope, is the expectation to build new pages on top of
the existing architecture, or are there structural/refactoring improvements
needed first?
4. Is end-to-end testing (Cypress/Playwright) part of the MVP deliverables,
or is unit testing with something like Vitest sufficient for now?

I'm planning to set up the project locally with a Fineract backend this
week and start exploring good-first issues or open PRs I can contribute to.
Looking forward to getting more involved!

Best regards,
Yousuf Ansari
