WildLoop

WildLoop is an outdoor activity and trail platform with a territory game. It combines trail discovery, GPS recording, activity feeds, clubs, challenges, leaderboards, route records (fastest known times), saved/offline routes, portable activity imports, and a server-authoritative capture engine.

Product rules

• The authenticated API user is always the actor. Seed data is never used as identity.
• capture is the only game-scoring mode. free, simulation, manual, and file-import activities stay in the activity log without changing territory.
• Territory eligibility is derived server-side from timestamped, accuracy-bearing GPS telemetry. Client distance, duration, and capture claims are not trusted.
• Activity writes are idempotent through (user_id, upload_id). Transient recorder failures queue in IndexedDB and replay on reconnect.
• Public routes mask their start and end. A protected home zone can prevent territory creation, and territory outlines are coarse unless the owner opts into precision.
• Blocks apply in both directions to profiles, feeds, follows, comments, kudos, leaderboards, and game map reads.
• Route records rank elapsed time on one route, bucketed by direction, category, support style, and solo-vs-team. A time is only a headline record if it also beats every more restrictive style. Nothing is verified automatically: a claim needs a GPS trace and a human decision, and a rejection needs a reason.

Requirements

• Bun 1.3+
• SQLite 3.47.2+
• Node-compatible browser with Geolocation and IndexedDB for recording/offline features

Local development

bun install
./buddy migrate
./buddy dev

The frontend and API are served by Stacks. Views are STX, application actions/models live under app/, and migrations live under database/migrations/.

Mobile UI testing

Generate both native projects, or only the platform currently under test:

./buddy build:mobile
./buddy build:ios
./buddy build:android

Compile the complete unsigned Release product for a physical iPhone, including the Live Activity and Watch targets:

./buddy build:iphone

Build, install, and open the current shared STX app for hands-on testing:

./buddy preview:iphone
./buddy preview:iphone --bundled
bun run preview:ios
bun run preview:android

buddy preview:iphone creates a Release device build, signs it, installs it on the single connected iPhone, and launches WildLoop. Use --bundled to test the exact local frontend and its offline behavior. The preview:ios command targets the iOS Simulator.

Run the same native iOS and Android journeys used in CI:

bun run test:e2e:ios
bun run test:e2e:android

The E2E suite validates navigation, an offline cold start, and native deep-link routing, then saves screenshots and JUnit reports. See Mobile end-to-end tests for prerequisites and artifact locations.

Quality gates

bunx --bun pickier .
bun run typecheck:app
./buddy test

Run the scheduled maintenance worker in deployed environments:

./buddy schedule:run

External integrations

Garmin OAuth, push imports, and revocations run through ts-watches. COROS device/file support also uses ts-watches; it is not advertised as a cloud OAuth integration. Apple Health export support and checksum-validated FIT decoding run through ts-health, while Apple Health and Health Connect live sync remain explicitly gated native bridges. Provider configuration is described in Operations.
