  • Real-time GPS walk tracker with foreground location streaming, Haversine-based distance calculation, and MET-based calorie estimation that uses the user's actual weight rather than a fixed multiplier.
  • Production touches across the app: 6-hour cache on weekly AI insights to keep API costs sane, debounced FatSecret OAuth 1.0 search, Clerk auth with Google OAuth, scheduled local notifications, and per-day log persistence in Firestore.
