ImpactSolutionRoadmap.sh

An open-source, AI-powered platform to transform complex social and environmental problems into actionable, collaborative blueprints.

This project democratizes technology as a force for good, providing a professional-grade tool for entrepreneurs, NGOs, researchers, and developers to architect, analyze, and implement solutions for critical ESG challenges.

Project Philosophy

1. Democratize Impact: Provide elite-level strategic tools, completely free and open-source, to those working to solve the world's most pressing problems.
2. Privacy First: Operate on a 100% client-side architecture. Your data is your own. It is never stored on our servers because we don't have any.
3. AI as a Co-pilot: Leverage sophisticated AI not just as a generator, but as a strategic partner to analyze, suggest, and enhance human ingenuity.
4. Open & Extensible: Build a clean, well-documented, and modular codebase that invites collaboration and adaptation by the global open-source community.

Technology Stack

The application is built with a modern, serverless, and privacy-focused technology stack.

• AI Engine: Google Gemini API (gemini-2.5-flash) via @google/genai SDK for its advanced reasoning, structured data output, and web search grounding.
• Frontend Framework: React (with Hooks) for a dynamic, component-based user interface.
• Language: TypeScript for robust type safety and improved developer experience.
• Styling: Tailwind CSS for a utility-first, responsive, and easily customizable design system.
• Markdown Processing: marked and DOMPurify for secure and rich rendering of AI-generated text.
• Offline Capability: Implemented as a Progressive Web App (PWA) with a Service Worker for caching and offline access.
• Deployment: Designed for static hosting on platforms like GitHub Pages, Vercel, or Netlify, ensuring global scalability with zero backend costs.

Getting Started for Users

No installation is needed. You can access the tool directly from its deployed URL. For the best experience, use the "Install App" button in the header to add it to your device.

Getting Started for Developers

1. Fork and Clone: Fork the repository and clone it to your local machine.
2. Set API Key: The project requires a Google Gemini API key. Create a .env file in the project root and add your key: API_KEY=YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY.
3. Run Locally: For the best development experience, use a local server. A tool like VS Code's "Live Server" extension or a simple npx serve command will work. For full environment variable support, a build tool like Vite is recommended.
4. Contribute: Create a new branch, make your changes, and submit a Pull Request. Please read our Contributing Guide first.
