SlugLoop.field notes from a hackathonthat went further than expected.

// read me first

The receivers don’t ping anymore.
This is the field log.

SlugLoop shipped in 2023. The map ran on reprogrammed GPS hardware on the campus loop fleet, base stations on top of buildings, an Express + Firestore pipeline, and a React PWA. Some time after the team graduated, the basestations stopped reporting. The map still loads. The journey still happened. Both are preserved here as a case study, not a commute tool.
