Launch Data, Officer Access, and a Resident Demo for Lake Forest

Preparing to Launch

I prepared launch data and refined the neighborhood map (8bae9854), then added flexible officer access and unified the admin entry (875cd48e). Unifying admin entry matters for a board-run portal—officers change frequently, and a single obvious place to sign in and administer reduces the support burden.

Map and Navigation

I improved site navigation and the neighborhood map (9ffd5d10), addressed map review feedback (0287713d), made the map auto-zoom to home on first load (8c6563c6), closed the mobile menu on outside taps (fa226c01), and polished navigation while restoring the favicon (ab930584). Auto-zoom on first load is a small thing that makes the map feel oriented instead of lost.

Transactions That Belong in a Portal

I added presentation data and password changes (6bcc74bf) and configured the Lake Forest notification sender (a4142488). Notifications coming from an unknown sender get ignored or reported, so a properly configured sender identity is a deliverability feature.

The Resident Demo

I added a resident demo (658a7fae). A demo account lets a board member or prospective resident explore the portal without real data, which is essential for walkthroughs and for reassuring people that the portal works before they commit to using it.

Wrapping the Feature Push

I merged the various-improvements branch (PR #5, 82d59006). After several intense days, the portal is at launch quality: payments, documents, compliance, community, and a map. The remaining work is operational—onboarding the board and watching the first real payment cycle.
