I’m building GAVEL as my lvl 3 project @sqicict , a case-tracking concept for Nigeria, with React, Node.js, Express and MongoDB.

Today starts my public build: the decisions, bugs and lessons along the way.

@AdebisiLeonard @sqicict Thanks mentor 🙌

[Special_Guy 🙎‍♂️ @specrpt]

GAVEL update: today’s work went beyond the contact page 😅
I added frontend pages for case-status updates, CSV imports and documents, plus Super Admin tools and navigation.
It’s a synthetic-data portfolio demo for awaiting-trial case tracking in Nigeria.

@sqicict I’m building with React, Node/Express and MongoDB, with AI assistance.
The goal is clearer case information, not just more screens.
Which would you test next: CSV imports, status updates or document uploads?

@sqicict One detail: the status form asks for a stage, a stall reason and a note not just a new label.
I also tested a contact submission and saw it in both Admin and Super Admin dashboards.
That’s the flow I’ve checked; the other new pages still need end-to-end testing.

@nookeshkarri7 @sqicict Exactly 😂 Imagine reporting a problem and the report itself goes missing. That’s why I checked the message actually reached the admin inbox after sending.

[Special_Guy 🙎‍♂️ @specrpt]

GAVEL build log 002 ⚖️

Sent test message using the contact form today, then checked both the Admin & Super Admin dashboards

It showed up in both

Nice seeing the two sides connect. Screenshots below

What else would you test?

@sqicict One detail behind this: the backend saves the message before trying to send an email notification.

If the email fails, the message is still in the inbox for review.

That matters when someone is trying to report a problem.

@AdebisiLeonard @sqicict Thanks ski, I’ll be sharing more as I build 😊 A short walkthrough of how GAVEL works is on the list too.

[Special_Guy 🙎‍♂️ @specrpt]

@j3rah_ @sqicict Thanks chief

[Special_Guy 🙎‍♂️ @specrpt]

@mitansh_j07 @sqicict Appreciate you 🤝 Still plenty to figure out, but I wanted to start sharing while I’m building. Hopefully someone else can learn from the mistakes too 😂

[Special_Guy 🙎‍♂️ @specrpt]

@j3rah_ @sqicict For real. Next up is making the case tracking flow easier to follow, so someone can quickly see where a case stands and what’s next.

Learned object destructuring, plus why app.use(express.json()) matters, without it, req.body is just undefined with zero explanation. Small line, saves a lot of confusion.

Today's lesson: relational vs non-relational databases, GET vs POST methods, and the request-response callback structure behind them.

Sometimes the best day isn't new info, it's finally understanding what you already thought you knew.

#SQICollegeOfICT #SQI @sqicict

[Special_Guy 🙎‍♂️ @specrpt]

Started backend today: Node.js, npm init, nodemon for auto-restart on port changes, and Express.js. Small commands, but they're the building blocks of an actual server.
