If one of your packages on OEX receives a review, you get notified by OEX only of YOUR own package.   
The rating reflects the experience of the reviewer with the status found at the time of review.   
It is kind of a snapshot and might have changed meanwhile.   
Reviews by other members of the community are marked by * in the last column.

I also placed a bunch of Pull Requests on GitHub when I found a problem I could fix.    
Some were accepted and merged, and some were just ignored.     
So if you made a major change and expect a changed review, just let me know.

iris-budget

I created iris-budget app for the InterSystems Full Stack Contest in 2026. By full stack, we mean a frontend web or mobile application that inserts, updates, or deletes data in InterSystems IRIS via REST API, Native API, ODBC/JDBC, or Embedded Python.

My app uses multiple REST APIs to add a new category or retrieve a list of categories of expenses and income.

First web application /csp/coffee

I inherited /csp/coffee from module.xml in iris-fullstack-template.

Second web application /csp/budget

For this project, I created a swagger file called "budget.json.

Hi Community,
In this article, I will introduce my application iris-CliniNote .

CliniNote is a full-featured clinical notes application that combines classic CRUD operations with **real-time AI-assisted notes matching** powered by **InterSystems IRIS native vector search**. The standout feature: while a doctor is writing or editing a clinical note, a side panel shows the **top 5 most similar notes** based on the semantic content of the note being written — **excluding the current patient** to avoid trivial matches. This gives clinicians immediate access to "patients like this one" — helping with differential diagnosis, treatment pattern recognition, and rare presentation detection.
