Day 28 of Building Crowdwide — More Personalization, Bug Fixes & Still Looking for a Brand Ambassador!

Description and use

On day 28 of building Crowdwide, the author fixed sidebar bugs across devices and added feed personalization to improve content relevance.

Problem

The sidebar UI broke on smaller screens after removing padding, and inconsistent UI appeared on larger screens.

Outcome

Sidebar functionality restored across all devices and UI consistency achieved; personalization features added to feed.

Workflow

• Removed padding from sidebar for larger screens
• Forgot to test on mobile, causing breakage
• Reported bug by @effessdev
• Fixed the bug
• Identified UI inconsistencies on PCs
• Repaired UI to match across sections
• Implemented additional personalization logic in feed
• Added view‑based ranking adjustment
• Implemented interest‑shift detection for personalized content

Evidence

While adding and setting up something for larger screens, I broke it for smaller screens!!

Then it was reported by @effessdev, and I fixed it!

I added a few more things to the feed. If your post gets more views, like 40–50 (initially shown to users in their feed), but no reaction, it will be ranked lower (not too low... just less preferred).
