Helping students find an answer

Zest Campus, available in WeChat as “Zest U”, brings several campus functions into one mini program. Yuxi Chen and I co-owned its encyclopedia, one of four major sections. Our part of the product focused on helping students discover information, read the details, and understand where policy-related content came from.

Discovery and reading as one flow

My contribution covered the encyclopedia’s code and initial content experience: search and tag filtering, discovery views, reading-first detail pages, and policy provenance. The work also included academic monochrome design tokens so the section could carry dense information consistently. Search gets someone to an entry; the detail view and source information help them make sense of what they found.

My scope: a complete encyclopedia contribution within a larger collaborative mini program.

Contributing within a shared product

The July 2026 contribution record includes commits and pull requests for these encyclopedia and policy-content changes. My assigned section contribution is complete; I do not claim ownership of the other three sections. You can find the mini program by searching “Zest U” in WeChat.
