What problem does it solve?

How does it work?
The public repository describes a Next.js web client, an Expo mobile companion, shared domain packages, a Supabase database contract and a governed ingestion pipeline.
Who is it for?
People researching UK heritage, planning journeys and wanting the same history to follow them from desktop research to an actual site.
Current status
The repository describes a working web MVP and an active multi-phase build. The registry does not claim a production launch or a public demo URL.
