Quick one today. I needed multi-file uploads on meeting days, you should be able to attach several photos to a single meeting requirement, not just one. Turns out I’d already solved this exact problem for deadline proof files a while back. So instead of reinventing it, I basically reused the pattern I’d already built: same upload handling, same storage path, same way of listing and attaching multiple files to one thing.

Honestly the satisfying part is that this was easy because of how I set things up earlier. Past me put the upload wiring in one shared place instead of copy-pasting it per feature, so extending it from “deadlines can have many files” to “meetings can too” was a small change, not a rewrite. It’s a nice reminder that the boring structural decisions pay off later. The work you do once to make the next change cheap is invisible until the moment it saves you.

Onto the next thing. Still want to wire up the real Google Drive connector (the stub’s already in place for when our mentors share a folder), add a proper compliance summary view, and let people delete individual files.
