🏗️ Morning Brief

Tuesday, March 10, 2026

1. Real-time Punch List Collaboration

Inspectr+

Multiple inspectors on the same project need to see updates instantly—punch items marked closed, new comments added, or photos uploaded. Right now they're polling. Add Supabase Realtime channels so punch items and comments broadcast to all active inspectors in real-time.

💡 Use RealtimeChannel.listen() on 'punch_items' table with RLS filtering by project_id. Rebuild only the affected punch list card on incoming change.

2. Offline Photo Caching with Hive

DailyReportr+

Photos taken on poor connectivity often fail to upload. Queue uploads and use Hive to cache thumbnails locally. When connectivity returns, batch-upload and show a progress indicator.

💡 Add hive: ^2.2.0 and persist photo metadata in a 'pending_photos' box. Wrap ImageProvider with cached network image that falls back to Hive on load failure.

3. Document OCR Pre-fill

Closr+

Closeout package docs (permits, certs, warranties) often come in PDF/photo form. Use vision API (Claude or similar) to auto-extract key data (permit #, expiration, contractor name) and pre-fill document checklist fields, reducing manual data entry.

💡 On photo/PDF upload, call Claude API for OCR. Parse structured response into DocumentModel fields before user review.
