What is PlateTrail?
PlateTrail is basically a vehicle-sighting diary. If I keep seeing the same car, bike or tractor somewhere, I can record it and later see how many times our paths have crossed.
Why does this exist?
There is no serious answer. I saw vehicles, remembered some number plates and thought: what if I make an app for this? A normal person would forget about the idea five minutes later. I opened VS Code.
The idea
Add a vehicle when I see it, record another sighting when it appears again, and slowly build a completely useless history of vehicles that somehow keep appearing around me.
Possible discoveries
Maybe I discover that one white Swift exists everywhere in Punjab. Maybe the same tractor passes me every Tuesday. Maybe I learn absolutely nothing. All three outcomes are acceptable.
Current status
Still building it. Like many of my experiments, there is a reasonable chance I spend more time making the interface look good than actually using the app.
