What this page is

A public desktop archive of Ned’s weekday ROP morning briefs for Jeff Franzen. The navy bar is the same on every page. Archive is the reading copy. Demos steps through each live demonstration. Help is this note.

Read this once

It holds the brief. Not the map.

Each weekday edition leads with Today's Esri ArcJS SDK demonstration (live demo and official sample when one is locked), then the ROP zoom, an optional companion, and good news at the bottom. Source links open in a new tab. There is no ArcGIS Online login chrome and no protected map layers on this site.

The source of record is data/briefs.json. The page does not invent stories and does not rewrite historical text. If a morning only locked two verified positives, the archive shows two.

Newest edition first. Every edition is fully readable on the archive, and each date has a permalink at /YYYY-MM-DD. Live WOW demos live at /demo/YYYY-MM-DD — official Maps SDK sample ports on this site, not only a link to developers.arcgis.com. Demos steps through each of those live demos, newest first.

After 7am

How Ned appends a brief

After the weekday 7am delivery, append one object to data/briefs.json. Do not edit earlier editions. Include a wow object when Ned locked a visual. The helper script prompts for the pieces, refuses a duplicate date, and scaffolds demo/YYYY-MM-DD.html when a WOW is present:

python3 scripts/add_brief.py

Or pass a single brief JSON file: python3 scripts/add_brief.py --from-json today.json. Commit and push main; Vercel republishes morning.jbf.com.

Feedback

Green smile. Red frown.

The faces at the top right open the public Survey123 form in this page. They do not send you to ArcGIS Online. Complements go through the smile; gripes go through the frown.
