What Comes Next · Roadmap
Grow the guide one useful phase at a time.
Phase 1 is complete. The current v1.2 field-test build is validating mobile use and a small blue/green/mixed place pilot before BlueGreen Guide commits to broader Phase 2 place-detail work.
Roadmap principle: Each phase should deliver a useful improvement without requiring a large rewrite or introducing advanced features before the supporting data and workflows are ready.
Phase 1 — Curated Launch Map
Complete POCv1.1.0 closeout56 places at closeout
Phase 1 established the static map, canonical data workflow, search, filters, curated collections, place cards/details, source-review approach, responsive layouts, final Design System 2.0 branding, documentation, and validation.
Historical count: 56 places describes the v1.1.0 closeout, not the current field-test runtime.
v1.2 — Mobile/PWA Field-Test Build
Current89 active runtime placesGreen/mixed pilot
v1.2 keeps Phase 1 closed while making the proof of concept usable for real phone and on-site testing.
Mobile field use
Explore, Map, and Nearby navigation; mobile sheets; compact map tools; responsive filters; PWA metadata; and a versioned service-worker app shell.
Broader place model
The base dataset is now generalized to places, with Water, Land, and mixed discovery semantics. Mixed destinations intentionally qualify for both relevant discovery views.
Small field-test pilot
Ten green/mixed pilot records test whether the architecture works beyond paddling. Diamond Valley Lake overlays an existing stable-ID place, producing nine net-new runtime places.
Field-test goal: Learn what works on site—mobile usability, place classification, marker placement, source wording, imagery, and practical planning value—before expanding scope.
Phase 2 — Structured Place Details
On hold
When resumed, begin with a small pilot using existing places and normalized planning fields rather than expanding the entire dataset at once.

Phase 3 — Conditions and Planning
Connect places with clearly sourced current information while keeping live data separate from static place facts and curated guidance.
Weather and wind
Current or forecast conditions that materially affect outdoor planning.
Water conditions
Tides where relevant, water temperature, water-quality context, and seasonal access notes.
Daylight
Sunrise and sunset information for practical trip timing.
Phase 4 — Community Layer
Potential features include ratings, reviews, photos, suggested edits, favorites, reports of inaccurate information, and trip notes.
Phase 5 — Intelligent Recommendations
Potential features include natural-language discovery, ranked recommendations, personalized filters, and conditions-aware suggestions after the underlying data is mature enough to support them.
Phase 6 — Routes and Ecosystem
Potential features include paddle routes, hiking and shoreline routes, duration, trip logging, clubs, outfitters, lessons, shareable plans, and broader blue-space and green-space discovery.
Roadmap, not a promise: Scope and sequence may change as the prototype is tested, data quality improves, and the most useful next step becomes clearer.
