OpenFING

The OpenFING project at Universidad de la República needed a web client that could serve its users over the long term.

Santiago built the web client. After it became the project's official client, he maintained and improved it for about four years.

• —The client served an established university project rather than a standalone greenfield product.
• —It needed to remain maintainable as the official client over several years.

• 01Continue maintaining the client after official adoption rather than treating its first release as the endpoint.
• 02Keep the implementation available in a public repository.

• —The web client became OpenFING's official client.
• —Santiago maintained it for about four years.
• —The source remains available in the public repository.

• —The web client implementation became official infrastructure for a university project.
• —Its four-year maintenance period made long-term stewardship as important as the initial implementation.
