I built a Squad Tracker to help groups coordinate, draw routes, and track locations. Need, feedback.

Hey everyone,

I’m a developer. I built an app called Flaresat.

While ATAK is the gold standard, I saw a need for a lightweight for when you need to get people on a map instantly without configuring a server or installing APKs. Also the experience for Tak on IOS is not the best. For now this is a web tool, I am working on getting the app approved for App Store and Google Store.

What it does:

• Real-time location tracking for the group.
• Collaborative drawing (Routes, Areas/Polygons, Waypoints).
• Markers support descriptions, custom colors, and icons.
• Invite Code system. Supports "Public" links for readonly/spectator views (good for TOC/Base configurations).
• Works natively on iOS, Android, and PC browsers.

Architecture: It is entirely web-based. For Now.

• 4G/LTE (WebSocket).
• Roadmap: I am actively working on Meshtastic integration to bridge off-grid LoRa telemetry into the web map.

Why I’m posting here: I know this isn't a replacement for CivTAK, but I’m looking for feedback from power users on the UI and mapping capabilities.
