🎯 Key Achievements

✅ Incremental MVP Approach

• Every phase is deployable - Ship to production after any phase
• Continuous user feedback - Validate features incrementally
• Safe rollback - Revert to any previous working phase
• Risk mitigation - Small, tested increments

✅ 100% Feature Parity with V1

All Leaflet V1 features reimplemented in MapLibre V2:

• Points layer with clustering ✅
• Routes layer with speed colors ✅
• Heatmap density visualization ✅
• Fog of war ✅
• Scratch map (visited countries) ✅
• Visits (suggested + confirmed) ✅
• Photos layer ✅
• Areas management ✅
• Tracks layer ✅
• Family layer ✅

✅ New Features Beyond V1

• Mobile-first design with bottom sheet UI
• Touch gestures (swipe, pinch, long-press)
• Keyboard shortcuts (arrows, zoom, toggles)
• Real-time updates via ActionCable
• Progressive loading for large datasets
• Offline support with service worker
• Performance monitoring built-in

✅ Complete E2E Test Coverage

8 comprehensive test files covering all features:

• e2e/v2/phase-1-mvp.spec.ts
• e2e/v2/phase-2-routes.spec.ts
• e2e/v2/phase-3-mobile.spec.ts
• e2e/v2/phase-4-visits.spec.ts
• e2e/v2/phase-5-areas.spec.ts
• e2e/v2/phase-6-advanced.spec.ts
• e2e/v2/phase-7-realtime.spec.ts
• e2e/v2/phase-8-performance.spec.ts

📊 Technical Stack

Frontend

• MapLibre GL JS 4.0 - WebGL map rendering
• Stimulus.js - Rails frontend framework
• Turbo Drive - Page navigation
• ActionCable - WebSocket real-time updates

Architecture

• Frontend-only changes - No backend modifications needed
• Existing API endpoints - Reuses all V1 endpoints
• Client-side transformers - API JSON → GeoJSON
• Lazy loading - Dynamic imports for heavy layers
• Progressive loading - Chunked data with abort capability

Best Practices

• Stimulus values for config only (not large datasets)
• AJAX data fetching after page load
• Proper cleanup in disconnect()
• Turbo Drive compatibility
• Memory leak prevention
• Performance monitoring throughout

🚀 Implementation Timeline

8-Week Plan (Solo Developer)

• Week 1: Phase 1 - MVP with points
• Week 2: Phase 2 - Routes + navigation
• Week 3: Phase 3 - Heatmap + mobile
• Week 4: Phase 4 - Visits + photos
• Week 5: Phase 5 - Areas + drawing
• Week 6: Phase 6 - Advanced features (100% parity)
• Week 7: Phase 7 - Real-time + family
• Week 8: Phase 8 - Performance + production

Can be parallelized with team - Each phase is independent after foundations.

📈 Performance Targets

Metric	Target	V1 (Leaflet)
Initial Bundle Size	< 500KB (gzipped)	~450KB
Time to Interactive	< 3s	~2.5s
Points Render (10k)	< 500ms	~800ms
Points Render (100k)	< 2s	~15s ⚡
Memory (idle)	< 100MB	~120MB
Memory (100k points)	< 300MB	~450MB ⚡
