Small updates on both of the apps last week. I added dark mode to the DynaBallot app. Was also trying to add some other lock down headers to the app, but using 3rd party scripts makes it very difficult to implement since most do not support it. I tried to implement COOP and COEP, but for the COEP a few of the 3rd party scripts do not support the headers needed to do cross-domain requests. I was also looking into other headers to prevent cross site attacks as well and no luck. Going to need more research to replace what can't be supported. It is odd that the biggest companies are trying to promote these technologies, but the scripts they supply don't support them. Next steps to keep researching and trying things, as of other features most will be behind the scenes.

The WhereAreGames app, was a simple font size adjustment especially for mobile screens. With the previous version it seemed too small on a tablet. My next steps for this app is to start another section to the application and if I can get a few people to try remote connections I might look into some micro-services for some of those connections.

I started my new position last week. I now have a title of Software Engineer which doesn't seem to be the right title, but I am learning lots with the new position. Things seem to be stable again and I will be continuing to work on these apps as time allows.
