The biggest part of this release is that the map display code has been completely rewritten. In the old version, every page that had a map on it was its own island. It was a completely isolated map experience on each page.
This was EXPENSIVE because Mapbox charges per map load. That means every time you went to a page with a map on it, it costed me money.
It was also SLOW because it needed to rebuild the entire map experience every time you went to a new page.
Now that itโs a single map instance throughout your visit, you should notice that itโs a bit faster. You might notice some new transitions within the map, as well. One example is when you begin your visit on the page for a city very far away from you. If you then visit your LifeMap, itโll zoom/pan you over instead of popping over.
- rewrite the map so itโs a single persistent instance throughout your entire visit
- improve some background job queuing so there are fewer duplicates
- set a max width on activity/user cards
- slightly adjust the design of focused items (clicked-in forms, etc)
- adjust the pagination design a little bit
- package updates
- upgrade to Rails 6.1
Oh! Also! I fixed a bug (The street count not being updated on the city after the updates run) which will help keep everyoneโs percentages accurate No longer at 100% since new update - #5 by JamesChevalier
