Summary

  • Adds a one-page technical retrospective for GenerateNU/skillspark (spring2026 cohort) to projects/spring2026/skillspark.md.
  • Cold read of the repo: commit history, PR history, backend/docs/*.md, and source (Go handlers + Expo mobile app + Vite admin web app).
  • Covers the Stripe Connect marketplace flow (and a doc/code drift where payments.md describes a synchronous flow the code no longer implements), OpenSearch-optional search/recommendation/trending logic, SQS→Lambda notification delivery, live on-the-fly translation of user content, and a gap between a real backend recommendation endpoint and the mobile app's actual (random-shuffle) home feed.

Test plan

  • Verified contributor list against git shortlog + GitHub contributors API (bots excluded).
  • Verified cohort guess (spring2026) against first/last commit dates.
  • Checked projects/spring2026/ for a naming collision — none found.
  • N/A — documentation-only change, no code to run.

Cold-read technical retrospective of GenerateNU/skillspark (spring2026): Go/Fiber backend with Supabase auth, a Stripe Connect marketplace (with a documented gap between payments.md and the actual async cron-based capture flow), OpenSearch-optional search, SQS-to-Lambda notifications, and an Expo/Vite frontend.

… docs path, drop doc-drift framing

Translation was previously covered in one throwaway sentence despite being synchronous, blocking, and load-bearing on every event/organization/review write in the app — verified directly against internal/translation and every calling handler. Also corrected docs/*.md path (was incorrectly written as backend/docs/*.md) and removed the "documentation vs code drift" framing on payments per feedback that it's not a useful lens for these write-ups.
