## About Ryvve

Ryvve is the car enthusiast app built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. The platform connects car lovers of all types—JDM, Euro, muscle, classic, exotic, and everything in between.

### Core Features

- **Car Meet Finder**: Find car meets near you, Cars and Coffee events, car shows, cruise nights, and track days. Discovery is location-aware: feeds load nearby events first, the map pulls in events for whatever area you pan to, and search ranks results by distance. On the map, events, drives and shops each group into their own live-counted bubbles with event pins drawn on top. Get event notifications and RSVP with one tap. Recurring events show the next occurrence automatically. A built-in calendar collects every event you've saved or RSVP'd to, with one-tap export to your phone's calendar and This Weekend / Next Weekend discovery sections.
- **Drive Tracker**: Record your drives with GPS in the background. See your route on a 3D map with distance, duration, and speed stats. Auto-generated drive summaries. CarPlay integration for starting, monitoring, and stopping drives. Live Activities on lock screen and Dynamic Island.
- **Drive Analytics (Premium)**: GitHub-style contribution heatmap of every day you drove, year picker, month calendar grid, personal records (distance, duration, top speed), and month-over-month performance comparisons. Animated reveals on charts and stat cards.
- **Drive Achievements (Free)**: Tiered badges earned from logged drives across six categories — total distance, drives logged, elevation climbed, streaks, longest single drive, and time behind the wheel — with progress shown toward the next tier. Opened from the Drive Stats page.
- **Home Screen Widgets**: iOS and Android widgets for weekly drive stats, quick-start a drive, and recent drive history.
- **Build Tracker**: Document your car build with modification logging, cost tracking, progress photos, and a complete build timeline. Track multiple vehicles in your garage.
- **Car Clubs**: Join clubs based on make, model, or interest. Connect with local and national communities. Create your own club. Private clubs with membership approval. Discover Clubs browses every public club near you, nearest first, with member counts and distance on each card — searchable by club name or by location.
- **Cruise Route Builder**: Plan cruises on an interactive map with search-first route creation. View route analytics and manage RSVPs. Associate cruises with a club.
- **Featured Routes**: 217 hand-picked driving routes across the United States — canyons, coastal highways, mountain passes, and historic byways. Polyline previews, distance/duration metadata, and discovery with sort + distance filtering. 98 iconic routes (Tail of the Dragon, Pikes Peak, etc.) flagged as Premium picks.
- **Shops**: Curated directory of 21 car-themed cafes and members' clubs (and growing) with search, discovery, save-to-profile, and map pins. Leave reviews for shops and tag the ones behind your build right from your car's page. Owners can claim and manage their listing in-app from a My Shops area.
- **Messaging**: Inbox with search, filter chips, pinning, and swipe actions. Optimistic send, lazy conversation creation, entity attach (car/club/event/drive), reply gestures, and a Cars tab in the emoji picker. Tap any avatar in chat to open that profile.
- **Multi-Day Events**: Full multi-day event support with proper start/end dates. Times render in venue-local timezone everywhere.
- **Garage**: Cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Searchable Make/Model. Per-car drive analytics on car details. Drag-to-reorder.
- **Map**: Public drives layer with polylines, layer toggles for events/shops/drives, per-segment filter sheets, drive-specific filters (length and duration).
- **Customization**: Alternate app icons on iOS. Profile photo cropping. Custom profile accent color (Premium). Drive privacy controls and encrypted drive data.
