Wanderpin - phase 2: trips you can shape, share, and watch fly

Phase 1 let you drop pins on a globe. Phase 2 turns that into an actual trip planner: reorder stops, edit them, share a link, and hit Play to watch the camera fly your whole route.

Play: the globe earns its keep

The feature I’m happiest with. There’s now a Play button that flies the camera stop to stop along your route, advancing the highlighted pin as it goes. On the 3D globe it looks the way I wanted the whole app to feel.

The nice surprise: it was almost free. Back in phase 1 both the globe and the flat map exposed the same tiny flyTo handle. So the tour loop doesn’t know or care which view you’re on

Editing, sharing, exporting

• Reorder by dragging (dnd-kit), with the route redrawing live. The drag handle is the only draggable bit, so dragging never fights tapping a stop to edit it.
• Edit a stop inline — rename, swap the emoji, add a note. Undo on remove and “clear all” via the toast, because I deleted my own trip twice testing it.
• Share builds a link with the whole trip compressed into the URL (lz-string), no backend. Open it anywhere and the trip loads. IDs are regenerated on import so a shared trip never collides with one you already have.
• Export to JSON or GPX, so a route can open in Google Earth.

Where it stands

Live at https://wanderpin-ecru.vercel.app/. Every phase builds clean (tsc + Vite) and deploys to Vercel on push. The loop now: build a trip, reorder and annotate it, watch it fly, share the link.
