Roadmap
What is coming, what is being built and what has just arrived. This page reads the project's own list and stays current while the work goes on. See the Release Notes for what each version changed.
Coming in the next releaseBuilt and tested, waiting for the next release.1
Phone polishMap
The first pass from your phone screenshots is built: full-screen Layers and Filters with an easy Close, a short footer, smaller labels and icons, readable panels and a handful of page fixes.
In progressBeing built now.1
Radio bridges for chatsCommunity
Link a chat to an APRS call sign (messages out from your own call sign, replies in) or to a Meshtastic node. APRS is built and opt in with licensing notes; the mesh side is ready on the portal and waits for the mesh gateway. APRS needs a verified license: the call sign is checked against the FCC amateur license data, re-checked weekly, with administrator review and override.
PlannedDesigned and queued, in roughly this order.20
Built to scale and survive a failureHub
Designed so the hub, the MLAT server and the portal can run on more than one machine and share the load. Considered as things are built, and done last unless something needs it sooner.
Discord botCommunity
Alerts in Discord from a bot of the site (needs Marty to create the Discord application and give the site its token). Kiosk mode is built (its own item).
Matrix and the Element app for chatCommunity
Chat and messages move to Matrix so conversations are end-to-end encrypted, with read receipts, typing notices, reactions and notifications. Element Web, themed and framed to look like the site's own chat, signs members in with their site accounts; the built-in chat is replaced. Next big project; needs a host name for Element and the Matrix server.
Mesh owner alertsStations
Tell a node's owner when a router goes quiet or its battery is low.
Mesh channels and QR codesStations
A channel configurator for the Meshtastic app: create private channels, share them with members and groups, with a QR code to scan.
Extend the mesh through our brokerStations
Link separate mesh areas (for example Little Rock and Sheridan) through the site's MQTT broker, without loops; first proved with two real nodes.
Mesh alert and weather channelStations
Warnings and weather station readings pushed to a mesh channel.
Mesh node history and coverage planningStations
Charts of battery, channel use and who hears a node, and where the next router would help most.
Mesh CommunitiesStations
A page, a map and a small site for each local mesh (Little Rock, Northwest Arkansas, Hot Springs and others), edited by its own managers.
Mesh node telemetryStations
Show and list temperature, humidity, pressure and other readings from mesh nodes that share them, with charts on the node page.
Scoped roles for communitiesStations
Roles and permissions that apply inside one community only (a mesh, an APRS group, a repeater club), so each group manages its own page and resources.
Mesh group self-managementStations
A mesh group sets up its own gateway logins, uplinks and downlinks, and sees its own statistics, charts and nodes.
Remote administration of mesh nodesStations
Queue configuration commands for a group's nodes from the site, run by a small bridge program beside a gateway node, with approval and a full audit log; tracks new Meshtastic releases.
Chat and message notificationsCommunity
Browser notifications for new chats, messages and friend requests, even when the site is closed (Web Push), with per-member choices and an installable app.
Share files in chats and messagesCommunity
Send pictures and files in chats and messages, with size and type limits, private to the conversation and covered by backup.
Data retention and thinningPlatform
Admin > Storage: for every growing table, keep full detail for a time, then thin to coarser points, then delete; attachments pruned after a set time; dry run, run log and audit.
Radio bridge in the profile and in every chatCommunity
Show the verified call sign on the profile, a Send to APRS or Mesh button in chats and messages, and a Radio section in My Account.
Forward mesh data to the public Meshtastic serverStations
Members who opt in can have their node's data also shared on the public Meshtastic MQTT server, under its rules, without loops.
End-to-end encryption for chats and messagesCommunity
Encrypted conversations that only the people in them can read, through Matrix and the Element app (decided), with sign-in by the site's own accounts.
Public source code (AGPL)Platform
A public copy of the portal's code under the AGPL on a GitHub organization, published at each release with private infrastructure details left out.
Ideas we likeUnder consideration; no promise yet.1
Phone appPhone App
An installable phone app. Its own item, only if it is ever done.
Recently releasedAlready live. The Release Notes page has the details.160
Air ambulances on the Trauma MapMap
A single switch on the Trauma Map draws every air ambulance helicopter and airplane the network hears, with a details card.
Kiosk displayCommunity
A wall-screen mode (Display menu, /kiosk): chosen pages full screen whose menus and map controls hide after a set time with no input and return with any input, an Exit button, a Setup panel (pages, seconds for each, presets, one page only), the date and time at a chosen corner and size, and ?kiosk=1 on any page.
Space weatherRadio
Radio > Space Weather: NOAA storm scales, K index, solar flux, flare class and a rough HF band guide.
Weather overviewWeather
The Weather overview shows the whole weather setup at a glance: stations, alerts, radar and satellite, earthquakes, rivers, space weather and balloons, with the station map and list below.
Earthquakes layerData
Recent earthquakes in and around Arkansas (the New Madrid zone) from the USGS, drawn by magnitude on the maps, with the time, depth and USGS link on click.
Phone maps: folding top panel and clear popupsMap
On a phone the map's top panel folds to one row of buttons once the map is moved, and popups open clear of the panels; the radiosonde Heard By table has a Sort by choice. Floating buttons no longer cover an open card. The Radiosonde Map shows claimed stations as claimed. My Account pages use the site's folding sections. Admin pages all use folding sections.
Usage history, pickers and filtersAdmin
Admin > Usage keeps request and feed counts by the hour and for all time, with From, To and All Time pickers and filters for the table; a service restart loses nothing.
One merged mapMap
Every map is one page built from one shell, and the Map selector switches the kind of map in place, keeping the view; each type shows only its own layers and filters. We keep it this way rather than putting every filter on one map.
Smoother wind streamsWeather
Wind streams follow a smooth blended wind field and curve with it at every zoom. Wind from a forecast model would improve them further.
Radio overview, repeater position picker and call sign linksRadio
A Radio overview page, a repeater list with locations, a map picker to set a repeater's position, and links that work for any call sign.
Service status checked in the backgroundHub
The status page opens at once and shows the result of checks that run on a schedule; only an administrator can force a run.
Frequencies listRadio
APRS, calling frequencies, FRS, GMRS, MURS, weather radio, marine and mesh frequencies in one list.
Clearer feeder iconsMap
Feeders show as airplane badges that can be seen at state level, on the Feeders page and the Coverage Map.
County Map outline-only lookMap
A look that draws just the thin county lines, the same as the County outlines box on other maps.
Grafana statistics dashboardsWeather
Weather and radiosonde statistics in Grafana with filters, delivered by the normal update.
Call signs, contacts and talkgroupsRadio
One page to look up a call sign, find a DMR contact and browse talkgroups; call sign details show wherever a call sign appears.
DMR time slots and talkgroups on repeatersRadio
Each DMR repeater shows its color code, ID and both time slots with their talkgroups; editors add them from the standard list.
Weather map for any regionMap
The weather map loads only what is in view, anywhere we have data, and never lets labels overlap.
Radiosonde station coverage from real flightsRadiosondes
Each receiving station's coverage outline is built from the flights it really heard, like an ADS-B station's.
Labels that never overlap on every mapMap
Aircraft, weather, APRS, repeater, radiosonde and county map labels never overlap; one shared label engine measures every label as drawn and keeps the most important.
Repeater code plug formats and a review queueRadio
More radio export formats and a queue for imported repeaters waiting for a position.
Weather for any placeWeather
Type a ZIP code, city, airport or address and get a full weather page made from the stations near it, with the National Weather Service forecast and history charts.
Drive times from anywhere on a mapMap
Click the map to pick a place, or search a city or an address, and the nearest hospitals are listed by road drive time and distance (near-ties by trauma level, then services). Drive-time rings of 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes can be shown for any hospital or place, on the County Map and the other maps. An estimate from the network's own routing server.
One list of location precisionStations
Twelve steps from exact to hidden, the same on every form and setting, written in your own units. Radiosonde stations show to about 0.7 mile until their owner chooses.
Highways map layer and hospital drive-time ringsMap
Interstates, US and state highways as a map layer on every map, and 15, 30 and 60 minute drive-time rings on hospital pages (an estimate from the network's own routing server).
APRS stations and weatherRadio
Digipeaters, gateways, weather stations (CWOP included) and optionally moving stations from the APRS-IS network around Arkansas, with a map, station pages, an APRS weather page and a takedown list.
Repeater directoryRadio
Amateur radio repeaters in every mode from Hearham's open data and Arkansas hams, with a map, reports, sysop claims and member submissions. More layers, coverage estimates and extra sources are still to come.
Phone-friendly pagesSite
Menu, section bars, tables as cards, folded map panels and smoother scrolling on phones.
Balloon landing forecasts and archive historyRadiosondes
A separate prediction service imports SondeHub's open archive and forecasts where the balloons of upcoming launches will land, then scores itself against the real flights. Members can also load any flight by serial.
Arkansas trauma list and hospital capabilitiesMap
Load the state's designated trauma centres and what each hospital can do from the state's own files, with their source shown.
Interesting aircraft listMap
Keep your own list of interesting aircraft (military, government, rare, news) that feeds the Interesting filter on the map.

Fixed-wing air ambulancesMap
Medical transport aircraft as a second filter beside the helicopters.
County mapMap
A clickable county map: every Arkansas county is one shape, shaded by how many feeders, weather stations, hospitals, airports or balloon launch sites it has, with a page for each county and county layers on the aircraft and home maps. Released in 1.0.31. Later: drive-time rings around hospitals and interstates.
APRSRadio
Amateur radio position reports on the map: stations, digipeaters, IGates and weather, with an APRS coverage map.
Sign in with GoogleAccounts
Members link a Google account on My Account > Google Sign-In and sign in with it (the site checks Google's signed answer itself; accounts are linked by Google's account number, never by email alone; two-factor still applies). An administrator enters the Google client ID and secret to switch it on.
PasskeysAccounts
Sign in with a passkey (fingerprint, face, screen lock or security key): added on My Account, used from the sign-in page, checked in full on the server; administrators can remove a member's passkeys.

Live Release Notes and RoadmapHub
These two pages update themselves from the project's repository, so they stay current while work is under way.
Map revamp: one map for every kind of dataMap
Every map shares one layout, icons, popups and settings, with saved views, one search box that never filters, satellite and hybrid styles, your location, county outlines and drive times on every map. The single merged map (one page, lazy modules) is still to do.
Places, roads, counties and hospitalsMap
Counties, county pages, cities, hospitals, heliports, highways and drive-time rings are done.
Weather stationsStations
Members' own weather stations on the weather pages, the weather map and the home page.
RadiosondesData
Live balloons, flights, launch sites, receiving stations, recovery reports and chase mode.
Repeater directoryData
An Arkansas directory of repeaters in every mode (FM, DMR, D-STAR, Fusion, P25 and more) laid out like the airports, started from open data and local lists and kept right by the community. Anyone signed in can submit one or report a correction.
Meshtastic and MeshCore nodesStations
Where the mesh nodes are, who hears whom, and a guide for joining the Arkansas mesh; every member gets their own broker login on My Mesh Nodes. Still to come: claims, coverage areas and operations help. The overview page shows live numbers, and nodes' Neighbor Info reports draw Direct Links on the map.
ACARS messagesData
Aircraft datalink messages received by member stations, shown on the aircraft details and on a live messages page.
Satellite-relayed aircraftData
Positions of aircraft reported over Inmarsat (JAERO ADS-C), Iridium and HFDL by members' receivers, through the ACARS service: they appear on the live map's ACARS positions layer with the age of the report.
Support the projectCommunity
A page for donations toward running costs (Ko-fi and PayPal) and an equipment fund for antennas, receivers and mesh nodes the project installs at host sites. The page appears once the project's donation links are set up.
Native replay and heatmapMap
Replay a past day and see where traffic flies, built into the map instead of the embedded classic tools.
More of the classic map's featuresMap
Multi-select, persistence, without-position filter, UTC times, QNH-corrected altitude, auto-select, last flight only, sea-level geometric altitude (EGM96), slim wind labels and the list's show more rows are all built.
EmailAccounts
Password reset by email and alert emails are built, with a test message, on Admin > SMTP: enter a sending service's settings there to turn it on. Account verification by email is not built.
Admin area allow-listAccounts
Limit the whole Admin area to chosen addresses and networks (Settings > Security); it cannot be saved from an address that is not on the list, and a server command clears it.
API keysAccounts
Members make API keys (My Account) for a documented public API at /api/v1 with per-minute and per-day limits; administrators manage, limit and revoke them.
Weather alerts on the mapData
National Weather Service warnings, watches and advisories drawn as colored areas on the maps (a Weather Alerts layer), with the details on click; the states and refresh are settings.
River and lake gaugesData
River and lake gauges in and around Arkansas from NOAA's National Water Prediction Service, colored by flood category, with the stage and flow on click.
River traffic (AIS)Stations
Barges, towboats and boats on the Arkansas, White and Mississippi rivers and the lakes from members' AIS receivers: a list, a map, a page for each vessel, a Marine Traffic layer on every map, a How to Feed page with a bridge program, and an administrator takedown list.

Space weather and HF band guide (Radio > Space Weather), net schedules (Radio > Nets) and Winlink gateways (Radio > Winlink Gateways), the last two kept by members with an editors' check.
Drone Remote IDStations
Drones that broadcast Remote ID, heard by members' own receivers (ESP32 scanners or phones): a list, a map, a page for each drone, a Drones layer on every map and a How to Feed page with a bridge program. The operator's location is not kept unless an administrator allows it, and pilots can ask for an ID to be hidden.
Satellite imagery and passesData
Visible and water vapor satellite imagery and lightning layers (Weather panel), and Radio > Satellite Passes: pass predictions for the space station, weather satellites and amateur radio satellites over any place. The Satellites map layer shows where each satellite is now with its path, what it can see and a card on how to work it (frequencies, mode, equipment, Doppler on the pass page). Members' own weather satellite receivers (Meteor-M, GOES, NOAA) send decoded pictures to a gallery (Radio > Satellite Images), each receiver with a private upload address. Weather > GOES Imagery shows NOAA's n

Administrators add a weather station, feeder or radiosonde station for a member with every option the member has, finding the member as they type.
Granular administrator rolesAccounts
Separate permissions for weather stations, radiosondes and map data (and a repeater moderator for later), so someone can be an administrator of one service only.
One registry for every serviceHub
A new service appears on the home map, the home Right Now card, the admin Overview, About, the Feed menu and the roles from one place, with a checklist and a test.
Stations at the same placeMap
Feeders, weather stations and balloon stations that share a location fan out on the maps instead of hiding each other.

Repeater details for digital radiosCommunity
Talkgroups, DMR and other IDs, call sign lookups and more import options, built around what a radio's code plug needs.
Radiosonde map and flight detailsStations
Click a balloon for the same flyout as every other map; filters and search on the heard-by table; forecasts picked from a launch site with dates, like SondeHub.
Replay and heat map of past trafficMap
The portal's own Replay (play back any past time at up to 100x) and Heat Map (where aircraft flew in any period) on the live map, read from the hub's history files.

Usage pageHub
What the site asks of outside services and what each service stores.
Our own forecast data (GFS)Weather
The prediction service reads NOAA's GFS model itself (winds by height and the surface forecast, every six hours, for Arkansas and a wide margin): the balloon predictor flies through our own winds and Weather for a Place has an hour-by-hour model forecast. A separate Tawhiri (our own flight model already exists; the Tawhiri option still calls an outside predictor) and a longer-range model are not built.
Numbered radiosonde forecastsRadio
Forecast flights on the Radiosonde Map are numbered in launch order.
All My StationsAccounts
One page showing everything you run, by service, with a count for each.
Linked repeatersRadio
Groups of linked repeaters on the list and as lines on the Repeater Map.
Site themes and seasonal themesSite
Color schemes you can pick, and seasonal and holiday themes that switch on by date, with their own decorations and map icons (Santa planes at Christmas, pumpkin and skeleton balloons at Halloween).
Units for each serviceSite
Radiosondes default to metric like SondeHub; every service has its own unit setting, in the Display menu and in each map's Layers and Filters.
Trauma Map and trauma regionsMap
Arkansas' seven trauma regions and two trauma zones on the County Map and on a new simple Trauma Map (Places menu): trauma centers by level, hospitals near the state line, drive times, pictures and websites.
County and hospital pages: websites, pictures and a bigger mapMap
Each county and hospital page links to its website and shows a picture where the map used to be; the map is larger and sits across the bottom of the page.
Classic tar1090 map retiredAircraft
The live map has every feature of the embedded tar1090 map, so the Classic Map menu item is gone (old links open the live map).
Display preferences and saved map views in My AccountAccounts
My Account > Display and Maps holds every choice of the Display menu (theme, units for each service, times, page width, map label and icon sizes, trail options) in folding sections, follows you to every device, and lists your saved map views.
County Map: limit what is shown by state, county or ZIPMap
The County Map's Show on the Map section has a Limit To filter (state, county or ZIP area) that applies to every choice: hospitals, airports, stations, launch sites and the rest.
NWS stations on the Weather MapWeather
Looked at and not built: the National Weather Service's own data service only gives observations for airport stations, which the Airport weather source already shows; its mesonet and RAWS stations reach us through the APRS (CWOP) source.
