Memory Map V2
The Idea
Building on the manual version, this second iteration introduced a modern tech stack to improve scalability, maintainability, and user experience. Employing React, Leaflet, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript, it aimed to streamline code organization, enhance aesthetics, and prepare a robust foundation for future AI integration and spatial features.

Development
A component-based React architecture ensured cleaner code and easier scalability. Leaflet powered the map, complemented by features like marker clustering, draggable markers, and chronological connections. A dark-themed UI improved visual appeal. While still lacking AI-driven capabilities, this version focused on refining the user journey and ensuring technical resilience.
Reflection
The modernization efforts paid off with a more polished, user-friendly interface and a maintainable codebase. Although automated descriptions and AR overlays remained absent, the groundwork was now solid. This improved infrastructure promised an easier path to incorporating AI-driven features and immersive spatial contexts in future releases.
What Worked
- Maintainable, scalable architecture primed for future enhancements
- Improved usability through clustering and marker interactivity
- Enhanced aesthetics and responsiveness boosted user satisfaction
What Did Not Work
- Continued dependence on manual data entry
- Increased setup complexity compared to simpler prototypes
