    Remote area · offline-first concept

    Community field desk

    A demonstration of browser-local, low-connectivity drafting for field researchers, volunteers and emergency support coordinators.

    Checking connection

    New field activity — local draft

    Prototype limitation: local storage is limited to this browser/device. No server syncing, no automatic remote access, and no confidential case filing. Import/export handles non-sensitive demo data only.

    Offline queue — 0 drafts

    This queue is explicitly local-only. Coming online does not automatically upload records. Production needs a secure, consent-based synchronisation API, per-record IDs, conflict resolution and authentication.
