## 🎯 Completed Tasks
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 1. ✅ Earthquake Animation (v1.1.0)
|
|
|
**Feature:** Animated new earthquake detection
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Implementation:**
|
|
|
- **Growing Dot**: New earthquakes animate from 0 to full size (0.6s)
|
|
|
- **Pulse Ring**: Expanding circular ring (50km radius, 3s animation)
|
|
|
- **🆕 Badge**: New quakes marked in popup
|
|
|
- **Tracking**: `previousQuakeIds` ref tracks seen earthquakes
|
|
|
- **CSS Animations**: Added to `src/styles/main.css`
|
|
|
|
|
|
**CSS Keyframes:**
|
|
|
```css
|
|
|
@keyframes earthquake-pulse {
|
|
|
0% { transform: scale(1); opacity: 0.8; }
|
|
|
100% { transform: scale(3); opacity: 0; }
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
@keyframes earthquake-grow {
|
|
|
0% { transform: scale(0); opacity: 0; }
|
|
|
50% { transform: scale(1.5); opacity: 1; }
|
|
|
100% { transform: scale(1); opacity: 1; }
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
**User Experience:**
|
|
|
- Immediate visual notification of new seismic events
|
|
|
- Helps operators spot fresh earthquakes at a glance
|
|
|
- Animation plays once, then marker remains static
|
|
|
- No performance impact (CSS-based)
|
|
|
