[henryajisegiri]

Goal

Wire up the community page to pull dynamic content from the database and implement redirects for all CTAs.

Scope

Full-stack: data fetching, redirect wiring, and posts surface.

Acceptance Criteria

Libraries

• The "Discover a library that meets your needs" section pulls library data from the database based on predefined library names. Flagship libraries only; provide a list of 4 libraries (ability to pin libraries, others are random)
• Each library card displays: name, description, and associated tags.
  • Dev Note: Ensure the library name link leads to the latest version of the library (e.g. http://localhost:8000/library/**latest**/accumulators/). This will automatically reset the global version selector to Latest instead of potentially the older version that the user has selected.
• Display up to 4 libraries. The "See all libraries" CTA routes to the full libraries listing page.
  • Dev Note: Same as above, ensure that the button link leads to the latest libraries page: https://www.boost.org/libraries/**latest**/list/

Posts from the Boost community

• The top 4 posts are fetched from the database, ranked based on a recency/views algorithm (out of scope). For this ticket, use recency
• Each post card displays: title, publish date, post type, related library tags, author avatar, author name, and author role/badge.
• The "View all posts" CTA routes to the posts feed page.
