}

Storage

  • Local-first: CheckIns stored in IndexedDB via Automerge CRDT

    • Current status display
    • Optional message input (for support/emergency)

  2. Community Feed

    • Support requests needing response
    • "I can help" buttons for each request
    • Community wellbeing summary (last 24 hours)

  3. Status Indicators

    • Color-coded (green/yellow/red)
    • Emoji indicators
    • Timestamp ("2h ago", "just now")
