Annual Summary (Wrapped)

Volunteer retention is a persistent challenge for peer mentor organizations. Research consistently shows that recognition and visible impact are among the strongest predictors of continued engagement. The Annual Summary gives each peer mentor a concrete, emotionally resonant answer to the question 'what did I accomplish this year?', reducing churn and increasing pride of participation. For coordinators, the feature doubles as a recruitment and motivation tool - shareable summaries can be posted in local chapter newsletters or social media, turning individual impact into organizational storytelling. Over time, the aggregated data also gives Norse Digital Products and partner organizations a compelling narrative for Bufdir reporting and funding applications, translating raw activity counts into human stories of impact.

The summary is generated server-side by the Annual Summary Service, which aggregates activity records, event participation, contact counts, and badge data from the PostgreSQL database for the trailing 12-month window. The Flutter client receives a pre-computed summary payload and renders it using a sequence of animated screens built with Flutter's animation framework (AnimationController, Tween, Hero transitions). Each screen is a stateless widget parameterized by the payload, making the flow easy to test and extend. The Annual Summaries table stores one record per user per year, enabling year-over-year comparisons. Sharing is handled via Flutter's share_plus package, generating a static image snapshot of key stats using the RepaintBoundary widget. The feature is gated behind the achievements-gamification module toggle and only shown to users whose organization has enabled it.
