Ride Pressure Widget

City-level mobility pressure signal for taxis and ride-hailing demand.

Public demo link is intentionally omitted until a stable deployment is published.

Route quote tools answer the price of one trip. They do not tell a rider, operator, or city observer whether the local ride market is broadly favorable, normal, or under pressure right now.

Ride Pressure Widget turns live weather, geolocation, route-friction observation, and transparent provider support states into a city-level pressure view. It is designed as a widget-like product surface, not a fare estimator.

• Manual city search plus automatic location detection
• City-level market classification: favorable, normal, or rough
• Weather, traffic, and demand breakdowns behind the score
• Provider support states that stay neutral when live pricing is not trustworthy
• Persisted observed snapshots in SQLite for recent city baselines
• Mobile-first /widget route and installable web-app metadata
• Native SwiftUI iPhone app and WidgetKit companion project

• Open-Meteo for current and forecast weather
• Nominatim for reverse geocoding
• ipwho.is for IP-based city fallback
• Public Uber route probes for route-friction observation
• SQLite via better-sqlite3 for local snapshot persistence

• City search and reverse geocoding
• Current and forecast weather
• Real observed snapshots written to SQLite
• Uber public-web route timing signals when probes succeed

• Hourly and daily outlook curves
• Demand pressure layering when direct provider pricing is limited

If a city falls back to inferred signals, the UI says so instead of pretending direct provider coverage exists.

• Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS 4
• Recharts
• SQLite via better-sqlite3

• src/app/api/ exposes search, reverse geocoding, and market payload endpoints.
• src/lib/server/sources/ handles weather and geocoding.
• src/lib/server/providers/ contains provider adapters.
• src/lib/server/market.ts computes pressure, freshness, and chart outputs.
• src/lib/server/snapshots.ts stores and reads local observed baselines.
• src/components/market-widget.tsx and src/components/pressure-chart.tsx drive the main UI.

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 for the full app or http://localhost:3000/widget for the compact widget view.

The app creates a local SQLite file at data/ride-pressure.sqlite.

• ios/RidePressureIOS contains the SwiftUI app and WidgetKit extension.
• The iPhone project uses the same real-data posture as the web app.
• Generate the Xcode project with xcodegen generate inside ios/RidePressureIOS.
• Local build verification on this machine still requires the Xcode license to be accepted.

• Build passes for the web application
• Provider support is intentionally conservative and explicit
• Strongest coverage currently comes from weather plus Uber route-friction observation

• This build does not claim reliable live price access for Bolt, Cabify, or FREE NOW.
• Some cities will fall back to weather plus inferred demand until more provider adapters are added.
• The charts are outlooks built from current signals, not fabricated historical archives.
