ECOSCENE Development Plan

Version: 1.0
Date: July 2025
Focus: UI Development with Dummy Data

Overview

This document outlines the development plan for building the ECOSCENE platform's user interface with dummy data. The initial focus is on creating a fully functional UI that demonstrates all platform features before implementing backend functionality.

Development Approach

Technology Stack

Framework: React with TypeScript
UI Library: Material-UI (MUI) or Ant Design
State Management: Redux Toolkit + RTK Query
Styling: Styled Components / Emotion
Build Tool: Vite
Mock Data: JSON Server / MSW (Mock Service Worker)
Routing: React Router v6
Forms: React Hook Form + Yup validation
Charts: Recharts for data visualization
Maps: Mapbox GL JS for geospatial features
