 The project focused on improving the OpenWISP general map by adding new
 features such as indoor floor plan integration, and linkable map URLs and
 real-time mobile device tracking. These enhancements are aimed at making
-the platform more accessible and useful for network administrators and
-users alike, helping them navigate complex networks, monitor devices, and
-troubleshoot issues more efficiently.

 While the journey presented deep technical challenges and learning
 opportunities, it also allowed me to collaborate with a vibrant community
 and contribute to an open-source project that impacts users globally.

     :alt: Shareable URLs Feature in OpenWISP
 
-For the shareable URLs, I introduced a new configuration option called
-urlFragments in netjsongraph.js, which is disabled by default but can be
-enabled when required. Once enabled, clicking on a node updates the URL
-with relevant parameters such as node ID, graph ID, and zoom level if
-applicable. The logic is designed to be standardized and extendable,
-making it possible to apply this functionality across multiple
-maps—specifically, both the geographic map and the indoor map. This allows
-users to share or bookmark specific views, with the map loading the state
-from the URL fragments.
+I added a new feature in netjsongraph.js called urlFragments, which is

+every time a user clicks on a node or link in the map, the URL is updated

+the selected node or view. The logic is designed to be standardized and
