Description

Sync waypoints, routes, tracks, and settings across phone, tablet, and desktop.

Per docs/vision/design.md: local-first, sync when connected.

  • Sync scope: markers, routes, tracks, vessel profile, settings, chart downloads (metadata only), instrument connection list
  • Conflict resolution strategy (last-writer-wins vs CRDTs)
  • Offline-first: sync is opportunistic, never blocks UI
  • Account/auth model
  • End-to-end encryption option

Research direction

Start by reading docs/vision/design.md and map the listed sync scope and constraints. A completed contribution would need an agreed design covering conflict resolution, offline behavior, account/auth, and optional end-to-end encryption; the issue does not name implementation files or tests.
