Overview
LapForge is a web-first racing playground: build tracks in the browser, publish them for the community, chase a daily spotlight course, and compete on async leaderboards with replayable ghosts — no install, no need for everyone online at once.
Goal & Motivation
Recreate the Trackmania-style time-attack loop entirely in the browser: draft a track, test it in simulation, publish it, and let the community race for the top time with ghost ships to chase.
Corporate Relevance
The engineering here maps directly to social/competitive product work: a physics simulation loop, ghost recording/playback, daily-challenge scheduling, and RLS-backed leaderboard aggregation on Supabase. Same patterns apply to any product needing async competition, UGC publishing pipelines, or replay systems.
