Task Priorities​

High Priority (Pre-Launch)​

  • Beta testing with real users
  • App Store submission preparation
  • Google Play submission preparation
  • Add app icons and splash screens
  • ✅ Set up crash reporting (Sentry integration complete)
  • ✅ Testing framework and test coverage
  • Configure analytics (Mixpanel/Amplitude)
  • Create privacy policy
  • App Store screenshots and listing
  • Performance optimization
  • Security audit

Medium Priority (Post-Launch v1.1)​

  • Hazard filtering on map
  • User-reported hazards submission
  • Turn-by-turn navigation
  • Push notifications for route warnings
  • Geocoding API integration (any address)
  • Real routing engine (OSRM/Graphhopper)

Low Priority (Future v1.2+)​

  • Offline map caching
  • Weather polling automation
  • Tourism POI collection
  • Bridge restrictions import
  • Premium subscriptions
  • Social features (share routes)
  • Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

Technical Debt & Issues​

Known Issues​

  1. Elevation Data: ~20% of segments have unrealistic grades (>25%)

    • Fix: Filter in queries with WHERE max_grade_percent <= 25

  2. Mobile Coverage: Script needs KML parsing dependencies

    • Fix: npm install @tmcw/togeojson @xmldom/xmldom

  3. Route Calculation: Currently uses straight-line distance (MVP)

    • Future: Integrate with OSRM or Graphhopper for actual road routing

  4. City Geocoding: Hardcoded coordinates for major cities

    • Future: Integrate geocoding API for any address

Performance Optimizations Needed​

  1. Add materialized views for common queries
  2. Implement request caching
  3. Add CDN for static assets
  4. Optimize map tile loading

Notes​

Design Decisions​

  • Using Supabase for backend (vs custom Node.js API)
  • React Native with Expo (vs native)
  • PostgreSQL with PostGIS (vs MongoDB)
  • React Native Maps (vs Mapbox)

Key Learnings​

  1. Data Quality Matters: OSM verification better than user-reports alone
  2. PostGIS is Powerful: Spatial queries are fast and flexible
  3. Cursor Pagination: Essential for large datasets (4M+ records)
  4. Batch Processing: Process 1,000 records at a time for optimal performance
