BETA / FOR REVIEW — not the official MapleSAP site · Review guide

Review guide

Compare the beta with the live site.

Open the current site and this beta side by side. Nothing here changes the live site.

The two sites

  • Current live site (unchanged): https://maplesap.app/
  • This beta: beta.maplesap.app once its domain is activated; built from the beta-site/ folder.

Try these five journeys

1. A curious visitor

  1. Beta home — pick “What’s special about maple trees?”
  2. Maple trees — open “Want to go deeper?”
  3. Why sap runs — step through the freeze-thaw explainer
  4. All topics — explore freely

2. A first-time tapper

  1. First tap — direct link
  2. Why sap runs — try the sap-day check
  3. Deeper science
  4. The app
  5. Follow MapleSAP Lab

3. An experienced producer or science reader

  1. Deeper science — direct link
  2. Maple Intelligence Platform — preserved hero
  3. Follow MapleSAP Lab

4. A product-focused visitor

  1. Maple Intelligence Platform — hero is identical to the live home
  2. App status — planned launch, no download claim
  3. Learn
  4. Beta home

5. Mobile and keyboard

Repeat any journey on a phone, or with Tab and Enter only. The “Skip to content” link appears on the first Tab. With reduced motion turned on, animations show as still images.

Demonstrations and illustrations

  • The app page’s outlook values and field notes are labelled demos or samples.
  • The app onboarding animations, the freeze-thaw diagram and the sap-day check are illustrations or rules of thumb, not forecasts.

Known gaps

  • MapleSAP Lab’s Patreon link is awaiting verification. No link is shown.
  • The app launch time is not set. Only the planned date is shown.
  • Learning content follows the cited extension sources; it still needs Jenn’s review for voice and local experience.
  • The launch popup (mission #2) is not part of this beta.
