Engineering Updates - July 7

Hi everyone!
If in the past two weeks we were in architecting and building mode, we are now officially in the polishing mode
! This post features a bug reporting automation, UI/UX improvements and a team expansion
!
Since launching Sapphire requires a lot of moving parts being brought together, we will not divide this post into different categories anymore, since all "sub-systems" now work hand in hand.
Without further ado, let's dive into the updates!
🦾 We have streamlined the issues from Canny into our internal backlog!
 The way this works is all issues that are marked in the ARCx Alpha Feedback board as planned
 by an admin get added in our internal backlog. When we start working on a task, the status of the issue automatically gets changed to in progress
, and when we complete it, it gets marked as such! This is a step forward to bringing more transparency to the community and speeding up the iteration loop.
✨ Now that all functions are in place, we are getting feedback, fixing bugs and polishing the UI
 on a daily basis.
🔧 Added redundancy and improve efficiency
 in the way the front end gets a credit score proof for a user.
🕰 Added a currentEpoch
 variable on the SapphireCreditScore contract to allow us and other protocols to reference the epoch of a certain credit scoring state in time.
⚙️ Created a microservice
 that responds to a GET request and returns an account's credit score and its proof for interaction with the Sapphire contracts.
🌲 Created a microservice for signing and publishing
 the credit score Merkle tree's root.
👨‍💻 We have expanded our team
 on the back-end! We are excited to welcome @classicushd
 (Discord handle) onboard!
That's it for today, stay tuned!
