Development

Most development happens in a plain browser against a mock recording engine (append ?mock-speed=120 to time-compress simulated flights).

Maps: street view (OpenFreeMap) works with zero configuration. The satellite layer uses MapTiler — the built-in key is restricted to official builds (origin wingover.app / app user agent), so for your own satellite builds get a free key at maptiler.com and set VITE_MAPTILER_KEY (or paste it under Settings → MapTiler key).

pnpm install
pnpm dev        # browser ring with mock engine
pnpm test       # unit tests
pnpm e2e        # Playwright e2e, including reload kill drills
pnpm build      # typecheck + production build

Sync is developed against a real CouchDB, with no Apple developer account, no StoreKit and no Mac — only the credential is faked:

docker compose -f dev/couchdb/docker-compose.yml up -d
pnpm dev

Then Settings → Subscription → Use my own server:

Server	http://localhost:5984
Database	dev-db
Username	dev-user
Password	dev-pw

That account is provisioned on demand, with the real validate_doc_update that is the paywall. A second browser profile is a second device. For a lapsed (read-only) account, ask for one:

curl -XPOST localhost:5173/v1/session -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"fake":true,"account":"lapsed","entitled":false}'   # -> lapsed-db/-user/-pw

Syncing to your own CouchDB

Settings → Subscription → Use my own server. Wingover talks to CouchDB directly and never to anything else, so CouchDB has to allow the app's origin — a stock install ships with CORS off, and without this the app cannot reach your server at all:

[chttpd]
enable_cors = true

[cors]
credentials = true
; the origin you serve Wingover from; tauri://localhost is the iOS app
origins = https://wingover.app, tauri://localhost
headers = accept, authorization, content-type, origin, referer
methods = GET, PUT, POST, HEAD, DELETE

You need a database and a user who can read and write it. Nothing else — no design documents, no schema. Wingover puts flights in whatever database you name, and a lapsed subscription is somebody else's problem on a server you own.
