Add WiFi Locate mode for locating access points by BSSID with real-time signal meter, distance estimation, RSSI history chart, and audio proximity tones. Includes hand-off from WiFi detail drawer, environment presets (Free Space/Outdoor/Indoor), and signal-lost detection. Also includes: - Mobile navigation reorganized into labeled groups (SIG/TRK/SPC/WIFI/INTEL/SYS) - flask-limiter made optional with graceful degradation - Fix radiosonde setup missing semver Python dependency - Documentation updates (FEATURES, USAGE, UI_GUIDE, GitHub Pages site) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Adding a New Module Page
1. Create the Route
In routes/mymodule.py:
from flask import Blueprint, render_template
mymodule_bp = Blueprint('mymodule', __name__, url_prefix='/mymodule')
@mymodule_bp.route('/dashboard')
def dashboard():
return render_template('mymodule_dashboard.html',
offline_settings=get_offline_settings())
2. Register the Blueprint
In routes/__init__.py:
from routes.mymodule import mymodule_bp
app.register_blueprint(mymodule_bp)
3. Create the Template
Option A: Simple page extending base.html
{% extends 'layout/base.html' %}
{% set active_mode = 'mymodule' %}
{% block title %}My Module{% endblock %}
{% block navigation %}
{% include 'partials/nav.html' %}
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<!-- Your content -->
{% endblock %}
Option B: Full-screen dashboard
{% extends 'layout/base_dashboard.html' %}
{% set active_mode = 'mymodule' %}
{% block dashboard_title %}MY MODULE{% endblock %}
{% block dashboard_content %}
<!-- Your dashboard content -->
{% endblock %}
4. Add to Navigation
In templates/partials/nav.html, add your module to the appropriate group:
<button class="mode-nav-btn {% if active_mode == 'mymodule' %}active{% endif %}"
onclick="switchMode('mymodule')">
<span class="nav-icon icon"><!-- SVG icon --></span>
<span class="nav-label">My Module</span>
</button>
Or if it's a dashboard link:
<a href="/mymodule/dashboard"
class="mode-nav-btn {% if active_mode == 'mymodule' %}active{% endif %}"
style="text-decoration: none;">
<span class="nav-icon icon"><!-- SVG icon --></span>
<span class="nav-label">My Module</span>
</a>
5. Create Stylesheet
In static/css/mymodule.css:
/**
* My Module Styles
*/
@import url('./core/variables.css');
/* Your styles using design tokens */
.mymodule-container {
background: var(--bg-secondary);
border: 1px solid var(--border-color);
border-radius: var(--radius-lg);
padding: var(--space-4);
}
Adding a New Dashboard
For full-screen dashboards like ADSB, AIS, or Satellite:
1. Create the Template
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" data-theme="dark">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>MY DASHBOARD // iNTERCEPT</title>
<link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='favicon.svg') }}">
<!-- Design tokens (required) -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='css/core/variables.css') }}">
<!-- Fonts -->
{% if offline_settings.fonts_source == 'local' %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='css/fonts-local.css') }}">
{% else %}
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&family=JetBrains+Mono:wght@400;500;600&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
{% endif %}
<!-- External libraries if needed -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.9.4/dist/leaflet.css" />
<script src="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.9.4/dist/leaflet.js"></script>
<!-- Dashboard styles -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='css/responsive.css') }}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='css/mydashboard.css') }}">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Background effects -->
<div class="radar-bg"></div>
<div class="scanline"></div>
<!-- Header -->
<header class="header">
<div class="logo">
<a href="/" style="color: inherit; text-decoration: none;">
MY DASHBOARD
<span>// iNTERCEPT</span>
</a>
</div>
<div class="status-bar">
<a href="#" onclick="history.back(); return false;" class="back-link">Back</a>
<a href="/" class="back-link">Main Dashboard</a>
</div>
</header>
<!-- Unified Navigation -->
{% set active_mode = 'mydashboard' %}
{% include 'partials/nav.html' %}
<!-- Stats Strip -->
<div class="stats-strip">
<!-- Stats content -->
</div>
<!-- Main Dashboard Content -->
<main class="dashboard">
<!-- Your dashboard layout -->
</main>
<script>
// Dashboard JavaScript
</script>
</body>
</html>
2. Create the Stylesheet
/**
* My Dashboard Styles
*/
@import url('./core/variables.css');
:root {
/* Dashboard-specific aliases */
--bg-dark: var(--bg-primary);
--bg-panel: var(--bg-secondary);
--bg-card: var(--bg-tertiary);
--grid-line: rgba(74, 158, 255, 0.08);
}
/* Your dashboard styles */
Best Practices
DO
- Use design tokens for all colors, spacing, and typography
- Include the nav partial on all pages for consistent navigation
- Set
active_modebefore including the nav partial - Use semantic component classes (
btn,panel,badge, etc.) - Support both light and dark themes
- Test on mobile viewports
DON'T
- Hardcode color values - use CSS variables
- Create new color variations without adding to tokens
- Duplicate navigation markup - use the partial
- Skip the favicon and design tokens imports
- Use inline styles for layout (use utility classes)
