Changelog

What's actually shipped in Carbon-Eye, dated, and what's planned next. Pulled from the project's own history rather than written separately, so it stays honest about what's real today.

Shipped

2026-09-15

  • About page (mission, vision, how the platform is built) and a Guide page walking through the full flow from account creation to reading results.
  • First-time guided tour of the New Analysis form, shown automatically once and replayable anytime.
  • Idle sign-out lengthened from 15 to 60 minutes, after reports of being signed out mid-session.
  • Run map's model / layer / view-options sidebar redesigned with colour-coded model swatches matching the Validation charts, and accessible keyboard-focus states.

2026-09-13

  • The Map tab now leads with plain-language results - an AI briefing, captioned stat tiles, and top-chart summaries - instead of raw numbers with the explanation buried on a separate tab.
  • Markdown now renders properly in the AI guide and assistant (headings, bold, lists), instead of showing literal ** and - characters.
  • Mobile run-results navigation replaced an unreachable horizontal scroll strip with a bottom-sheet menu.
  • Backend: run and portfolio data moved from local SQLite to Firestore, fixing run history being lost whenever the server scaled to zero.
  • Backend: Vercel preview deployments no longer blocked by CORS.

2026-09-06 – 09-11

  • Backend hardening, load testing and concurrency handling for the analysis pipeline.
  • Map rendering and UI refinements across the dashboard.

2026-08-29 – 08-30

  • Country/county explorer: search, level filters, and a carbon-stock column.
  • Initial launch - the Carbon-Eye landing page and the FastAPI analysis backend, running live on Google Earth Engine.

What's next

The roadmap items already on the landing page, in one place:

Transformer & deep-learning models

Attention-based models over multi-temporal Sentinel stacks, added alongside RF / GTB / SVM in the ensemble.

LLM-assisted interpretation

A language-model guide that explains maps, metrics and county results in plain language and drafts reports.

Beyond Kenya

Other countries, counties and states, using the same Earth Engine pipeline.

Deeper validation

Local field-plot data for calibration and independent accuracy assessment.
