PATCH Branding & Data Integrity Update 28 April 2026
  • Official Logos Added: Replaced generic letter-badge placeholders with official operator logos for Tobu Railway, Tokyu Railway, and TWR Rinkai Line on the home page network cards.
  • Rinkai Line Fixed (Critical): Resolved a critical routing loop where the Rinkai Line would redirect to itself and show no data. Removed the conflicting Hub configuration and rebuilt the line page with a correct Route Map.
  • Rinkai Line Stations Corrected: Restored the full 8-station sequence (R01 Shin-Kiba → R08 Osaki), including the often-missing Tokyo Teleport and Shinagawa Seaside stops. Applied correct TWR branding color (#004194).
  • Shinkansen Network Rebuilt: Expanded all three Shinkansen lines from truncated placeholder data to full, accurate station sequences:
    • Tokaido Shinkansen: 17 stations, Tokyo → Shin-Osaka
    • Tohoku Shinkansen: 23 stations, Tokyo → Shin-Aomori
    • Joetsu Shinkansen: 12 stations, Tokyo → Niigata
  • Shinkansen Transfers Fixed: Transfer badges at major hubs (Tokyo, Ueno, Omiya, Takasaki, Shinagawa) now correctly reflect connecting lines.
HOTFIX Routing & Missing Line Fixes 28 April 2026
  • Nippori-Toneri Liner Added: Added the missing Toei Nippori-Toneri Liner (NT01–NT13) with correct station list, branding color (#da6b10), and service pattern data.
  • Flexible URL Routing: Implemented a multi-step slug matching engine for line URLs supporting dashes, underscores, and fused formats — preventing 404 errors for complex line names like the Nippori-Toneri Liner.
  • Bug Report Modal Fixed: Corrected a broken script tag that blocked the timeline from rendering. Also fixed white-on-white text contrast issues in the "Report or Contribute" modal.
  • Admin Dashboard Link: Added a persistent Admin Dashboard link in the site footer for authenticated admin users, making it easier to review incoming bug reports and contributions.
RELEASE Production Launch & History Database 27 April 2026
  • Full Production Deployment: Site deployed to Cloudflare Workers at train-wiki.rehans-iqra.workers.dev. All static assets, API routes, and D1 database bindings confirmed live.
  • Station History Database: Completed a batch scrape of 966 stations from Japanese Wikipedia. Historical timeline events (沿革/年表 sections) ingested into Cloudflare D1 (train-wiki-db).
  • Station Timeline UI: Station pages now display an interactive historical timeline for events like openings, expansions, renovations, and incidents sourced from Wikipedia scrape data.
  • Community Contributions: Launched a crowdsourced contribution system. Users can submit historical events, accessibility audits, bug reports, and data corrections via an in-page modal form. All submissions are stored in D1 for admin review.
DATA Station Pages & Visual Overhaul 26 April 2026
  • Visual Platform Diagrams: Station pages now feature a visual track-and-platform layout showing Inbound/Outbound platform numbers and peak frequency estimates per serving line.
  • Quick Facts Bar: A prominent "Quick Facts" summary bar was added to station pages, showing Total Platforms, Connected Lines, Opened Year, Daily Riders, and History event count at a glance.
  • Official Line Badges: Transfer badges on route maps now use operator-accurate styling — circular badges for Tokyo Metro, bordered squares for Toei, solid squares for JR, and diamond-style for Shinkansen.
  • Mobile Hamburger Menu: Implemented a fully functional mobile navigation menu with smooth open/close animations and proper backdrop behaviour for sub-768px viewports.
  • Dark/Light Theme Toggle: Added a persistent theme toggle that saves preference to localStorage and applies on load without a flash of unstyled content.
PATCH Keisei & Timetable Fixes 23 April 2026
  • Mock Timetable Generator: Replaced broken repetitive "00:00 ghost" timetable entries with a deterministic staggered schedule generator, producing realistic departure times for all Keisei stations.
  • Keisei Network Audit: Audited all Keisei Electric Railway station data. Fixed missing stations and corrected transfer badge assignments across the Narita Airport corridor.
  • API Security: Protected the /api/contribute endpoint with authentication middleware. Admin routes locked behind session-based access control.
RELEASE Initial Public Release 20 April 2026
  • Site Launched: Japanese Transit Wiki goes live. Core network coverage includes JR East, Tokyo Metro, Toei Subway, Keisei, Tokyu, Odakyu, Tobu, and Shinkansen lines.
  • Interactive Route Maps: All line pages feature horizontal-scrolling transit-style route maps with hover tooltips, station codes, and transfer connection dots.
  • Global Station Search: Real-time fuzzy search across all 966 stations supporting both English and Japanese kanji input (e.g. Shinjuku or 新宿).
  • Live Departure Boards: Station pages connect to the ODPT API to display real-time departure information in an LED-style board UI.
  • Edge Architecture: Built on Hono + Cloudflare Workers for sub-100ms global response times with zero cold-start latency.
