Phase 35 Capture Board — Don't Lose Anything

🧪 iPad test results · 2026-05-25

8 findings from the founder's iPad walk-through

FIXED

#1 Tokyo pick at onboarding → app still opened to Williamsburg

Root cause: AppShell never remounted when onboarding gate flipped → useState initializer kept its null value. Fix: handleOnboardingComplete now explicitly sets active city.

FIXED

#2 + #8 Red urgent banner stacked all cities' alerts on first open

Same root cause as #1 (null active city → filter let all alerts through). Indirectly fixed.

FIXED

#3a Real estate listings from Williamsburg showed in non-NYC feeds

feedListings now filters by active city. International cities show no listing inserts.

FIXED

#3b "Happening Tonight" + "New on Your Block" + "New Here Guide" all WB content

SocialNudgeCards now reads per-city tonightEvents. NurturingStrip ("new here guide") gated to NYC only.

CONFIRMED

#4 Briefings + calendar + map work once city is switched

Per-city wiring landing as expected.

CONFIRMED

#5 Vesta lands ("looks good")

Hard-hitting tone shift validated.

CONFIRMED

#7 City selection persists across reload

localStorage round-trip works.

PARK

Calendar UX polish — color-coded dots + upcoming-dates wiring (Phase 36)

Currently tapping a day shows nothing. Wants dots per category + mock data at upcoming dates.

DISCUSS

Story bubbles — should they appear in non-NYC? Should they exist at all?

Decision pending next session.

🆕 New this turn Don't lose

Cross-app feature concept

Live photo threading on event posts

For any post about something happening right now — a march forming, parade, fire, block party, marathon, concert, protest — anyone in proximity can attach photos directly to that single post. Click the pin on the map → see the post → see the live photo gallery contributed by neighbors as the event unfolds.

Why this matters

Nabe becomes the live sensor of the neighborhood. One canonical post per event, not 50 scattered Instagram stories. The map pin is the live coverage.

Open questions

• Who can contribute? (Anyone in neighborhood? GPS-verified within 200m? Trusted neighbors only?)

• Time decay — photos sorted newest first, post auto-archives after how long?

• Moderation — how do you handle bad-actor photos?

• Should the post escalate to a "Right Now" banner item if 5+ photos arrive in a short window?

Cross-app pattern Likely Phase 36 Not in current phase scope

⚽ WC Hub 14 ideas captured · gallery linked

14 World Cup hub concepts

Founder said: "I like all your World Cup content ideas, all of them. Can we mock them up, I don't want to lose them." Done.

Open the gallery →

All 14 concepts (click to expand)

🔥 Hyperlocal:

1. Pickup games (★★★★★)

2. Goal celebration meeting points (★★★★★)

3. Block-level leaderboards + trash talk (★★★★)

🌍 Cross-city:

4. Live cross-city reaction stream (★★★★★)

5. Sound/cheer heatmap (★★★★)

6. Same-team different-cities thread (★★★★★)

✈️ Tourist/diaspora:

7. Argentine fans in your neighborhood this week (★★★★★)

8. Neighbor-hosted watch parties (★★★★★)

9. 7-day visiting-fan guide (★★★★)

🍽 Business:

10. Game-day curated map (★★★★★)

11. Restaurants doing match specials (★★★★)

12. Jersey-spot photo wall (★★★)

🕊 Civic/cultural:

13. Vesta featured story (★★★★★ — pitch climax)

14. Player neighborhood roots (★★★)

Claude's 3-card recommendation

1. Live cross-city reaction stream — the pitch shot, proves D-15

2. Game-day curated map — local commerce activates around the moment, monetizable

3. Vesta featured story — pitch climax, last thing Reffkin sees

Everything else → roadmap park for "if Compass wants to scale this"

Status: You haven't reviewed the gallery yet. Decision pending: which 3-5 of the 14 make it into the hub before pitch.

🕊 Vesta tone Founder override of Plan 04 D-11

Make Vesta hard-hitting

✓ DONE 2026-05-25 — see diff page

Plan 04 used dignified euphemisms ("displaced families," "rebuilding") per D-11. Founder direction now: go harder. Still fictional (no Ukraine/Gaza/Israel/etc. names) but the vocabulary should land. 5 new posts shipped + 2 new Right Now alerts + 1 emergency hotspot.

Open the kept-vs-added diff →

Add (founder's list)

• Shelter-in-place alert in the red banner
• Bomb shelter posts (which ones are open, capacity)
• Aid posts — where aid is needed (location-tagged)
• Aid posts — where aid is arriving (international supplies)
• Missing person found after latest bombings / attacks

Keep

• Fictional only — no Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, Sudan, etc.
• Mixed tone — civic vitality AND practical aid coexist
• WC viewing event (kids at community center) — joy persists
• Universal-archetype names (Ana Rivers, Marek Sun, etc.)
• Resilience tone, not pity tone

What changes in the data

src/data/mockPosts.ts Vesta section gets ~3-5 new posts in the harder register, existing Vesta posts stay or get slight vocabulary tightening. MOCK_ALERTS in mockPosts gets a shelter-in-place Right Now item.

🔍 Audit 11 issues found in cross-city consistency · 2 more user-reported

🚨 Critical (3) — fix before any demo

Picked city doesn't persist

AppShell.tsx:77 — state inits to null, never reads localStorage. Pick Paris in onboarding → app falls back to WB. ← your report

Onboarding lets you skip the picker → silent WB default

OnboardingFlow.tsx:32 — defaults to 'williamsburg' if skipped. ← your report

Hotspot reports default to WB coords

AppShell.tsx:262 — same null-state footgun.

🔴 High (4) — visible in demo

Briefing subtitle hardcoded to "Williamsburg"

MorningBriefingDrawer.tsx:37-39 — "Since 6am · Williamsburg" shows in every city.

Briefing content is 100% NYC venues

mockBriefing.ts — Devocion, Paulie Gee's, Nabe Building Rooftop everywhere.

Calendar fallback says "Williamsburg"

CalendarDrawer.tsx:100 — when no neighborhood selected.

Emma Chen (Meet Your Agent) shows in every city

FeedContainer.tsx:94-95 — fix: hide entirely in non-NYC cities. ← your report

🟡 Medium (2) + 🟢 Low (2)

• MorningBriefingDrawer doesn't receive activeNeighborhood prop at all

• Onboarding allow-skip is a subset of Critical #2

• Map cold-start defaults to WB before FlyTo activates (acceptable)

• Hotspot fallback overlaps with Critical #3

📌 User-reported, not auto-detected by audit (2)

Right Now banner / red banner — same WB content for all cities

The audit caught briefings but not this. Need to verify what the red banner reads and whether MOCK_ALERTS filters by neighborhood.

Events calendar — only WB events show across cities

Plan 03 added 12 international events + Plan 04 added 3 Vesta events — but the calendar UI may not actually filter to active city.

📋 Suggested fix order ~3-4 hours total

#	Task	Status
✓	Persist picked city to localStorage + restore on mount	done
✓	Block onboarding "Continue" until city picked (already had check; hardened defensive path)	done
✓	Hide Emma Chen card in non-NYC cities	done
✓	Make briefing accept neighborhood prop + show city name	done
✓	Right Now banner per-city filtering + add international + Vesta hotspots	done
✓	Events calendar — filter by active city (was already filtered; subtitle now shows city)	done
✓	Build per-city briefing data structure (8 hand-tuned briefings)	done
✓	Rewrite Vesta posts with hard-hitting tone — 5 new + diff page	done
9	Pick 3-5 WC hub concepts from gallery + build them	awaiting your pick
✓	Calendar fallback fix	done
✓	Hotspot report fallback	done

🅿️ Parked for later Bigger ideas — likely own phases

Live photo threading on event posts

From this turn. Cross-app feature. Likely Phase 36 candidate. See top of page.
9 WC hub concepts not in the chosen 3

If Compass funds scaling, these are the next-up. Goal celebration meetups, sound/cheer heatmap, jersey-spot wall, etc.
