codefornola / nola-transit-map Goto Github PK

I save the page as an embedded app on my home screen. When it sleeps the app or the browser for too long, and I come back, sometimes it doesn't automatically reconnect. My guess is this can be resolved by better leveraging our websocket library. We use this library https://github.com/gorilla/websocket for websockets but we have some manual reconnect code because I think we aren't using it properly.

NORTA has updated the routes for the #32 bus and the #11 bus, but nola-transit-map still shows the old routes. It's not a big deal, but it would be nice to have the new routes shown on the map.

Attaching screenshots for clarity.

As always, thanks for all you work on this! It's a truly great app.

Having trouble getting the website to open, once open no luck finding vehicles. Please help! The 91 notoriously runs behind schedule, if I can see how many buses are on the line it's extremely helpful for me to get to work. What y'all have created is an incredible asset for me and all New Orleanians who take public transportation!
Thank you!!

I think it would be helpful to have JET bus routes included with the RTA data to have a more comprehensive transit status, since there is overlap between JET and RTA in certain parts of the metro, despite the lack of fare transfers. The map for their live status is here.

Timestamps are currently a UTC string. For usability purposes, they should be presented in a format displayed in the local time zone.

Also, I noticed the timestamp doesnt seem to include seconds? They are always ":00" If seconds dont need to be displayed, consider removing them in the formatted timestamp.

I currently need to bust the cache by adding some get params on the static assets before deploying, e.g.: 118e42b

this is pretty annoying. A solution would be to have esbuild somehow take care of this. Or change some config in fly.io so it doesn't so aggressively cache assets.

After the first set of updates come in, the websocket disconnects:
