A year of shipping, breaking, and fixing things in the open. Here's what actually happened, not just the parts that went well.
Highlights
The full write-ups are linked from each post — this is the short version.
01
The biggest architecture change of the year — councils with patchy internet during a storm now have the whole map cached locally.
02
Sensor cost came down, deployment count went up. The SMS-only approach kept working exactly as intended.
03
What started as an internal tool for our own field partners became the thing small NGOs actually asked for by name.
Tideline's first offline cache implementation silently dropped gauge updates older than 24 hours — a council found it during a real storm, not a test. Fixed in v4.0.2, and it's now part of the release checklist for every product.
Every entry in next year's review starts as a pull request, a bug report, or a write-up someone decided to publish.
