Release 3 · Queued

Offline Mode & Export

Graceful handling of no-signal situations plus data ownership via export. Overlanders live in dead zones — the app needs to work there.

Release: 3
Size: Medium
Deploy: OTA · FULL?
Status: Queued
Depends on: Pin Upgrades (R2)

Summary

Graceful handling of no-signal situations plus data ownership via export. The audience is overlanders — they're in dead zones by definition. This release makes the app usable off-grid.

Overlap with Pro Offline pins also appears in the WanderPins Pro scope as the headline Pro feature. The split: cached pins (already partially shipped via React Query persistence) is free; downloadable map tile packs is Pro. Resolving this cleanly is an open question.

What's in scope

Cached pins offline — React Query persistence already live (app/_layout.tsx:29-33, 90-day cache). Pins loaded while online are available offline. Half-done already.
Queued edits offline — queue pin creates/edits while offline, sync on reconnect. Net-new.
Offline map tile packs — download a region, use the Mapbox map offline. Scope TBD in PRD.
Data export in GPX / JSON — Pro feature. Export your pins and trips in an open format.

Open questions

Tile packs in R3 or Pro (R5)? Currently listed in both. Proposal: tile packs ship as Pro beta in Pro v0, graduate to stable in R3. Needs confirmation.
Tile pack scope — full Mapbox OfflineManager with region selection UI, or graceful degradation only (cached pins on a gray map)? Affects FULL BUILD vs OTA.
Queued edit conflict resolution — last-write-wins or show conflict UI?
Export gating — Pro feature per current scope. Confirm.
