Users can now mark roadmap steps as completed using checkboxes and track their overall progress with a dynamic progress bar and completion percentage.

Thank you for the detailed feature implementation. This is a meaningful UX enhancement and the roadmap interaction/progress UI has been implemented thoughtfully overall.

I reviewed the changes carefully and there are a few important improvements needed before merge:

1. The PR description mentions that roadmap progress is stored using browser local storage, but the current implementation does not include any localStorage persistence logic. At the moment, progress resets after page refresh. Please either:

• implement proper localStorage persistence and restoration,
  OR
• remove the persistence claim from the PR description.

2. Since this introduces an interactive progress tracker, accessibility semantics should also be improved. Please consider adding:

• proper role="progressbar"
• aria-valuenow, aria-valuemin, and aria-valuemax
• accessible labeling for progress updates.

3. Please upload mobile screenshots/testing evidence as this PR changes roadmap layout structure, checkbox alignment, and progress bar responsiveness. The current progress bar uses a fixed min-width: 300px, which may overflow on smaller devices.

4. The .gitignore modification appears unrelated to the roadmap feature. Please either explain why it is necessary or remove unrelated changes from the PR.

Once these improvements are addressed, this will be in a much stronger state for approval.

@komalharshita

Thanks for the detailed review and suggestions.

I’ve now addressed the requested improvements:

• Added localStorage persistence for roadmap progress tracking and restoration after page refresh.

• Improved accessibility by adding:

  • role="progressbar"
  • aria-valuenow
  • aria-valuemin
  • aria-valuemax
  • aria-live

• Removed the fixed width issue affecting responsiveness on smaller devices.

• Tested the updated roadmap layout on mobile view and uploaded screenshots.

• Removed the unrelated .gitignore modification from the PR scope.

@komalharshita , after so much remainders , you have not checked my pr #211 this very unprofessional behaviour from your side
you are responding to those who have pr's in last 2-3 days ago, Kindly revisit #211 & merge it without any delay

[komalharshita]

@somu0571

Please keep communication respectful and professional.

This PR has not been ignored. The review history shows that:

• A detailed review was provided with multiple requested changes.
• Additional accessibility and persistence concerns were identified.
• Merge conflicts were later reported and needed to be resolved before further review.

As maintainers, we are reviewing and managing a large number of issues and pull requests simultaneously. Reviews are handled based on project workload, contributor responses, merge readiness, and overall repository priorities. A delay in review does not imply that a PR has been overlooked.

Regarding the PR itself, I am performing another review now. Please note that merge conflicts, requested changes, failing checks, and additional review findings can all affect review timelines.

Future comments should focus on the technical status of the PR rather than personal remarks about maintainers or other contributors.

Thank you for your contribution.

Required Changes

1. localStorage persistence is not project-specific

The current implementation stores roadmap progress using a single global key:

"devpath-roadmap-progress"

This means roadmap progress from one project can overwrite or affect progress on another project. Since DevPath contains multiple project detail pages, progress tracking should be scoped to the specific project being viewed.

Please update the implementation to use a unique project-based storage key (for example, based on project ID or slug) so that each project's roadmap progress is stored independently.

Additional Notes

• The feature itself is a useful UX enhancement.
• Accessibility improvements and progress bar semantics have been added correctly.
• Merge conflicts have been resolved.

However, the storage implementation currently introduces incorrect behavior across multiple projects, so I cannot approve the PR in its current state.

Please address the localStorage scoping issue and request another review once updated.

Requesting changes until the storage issue is resolved.

[somu0571]

@komalharshita Thanks for the review. I've updated the roadmap persistence to use a project-specific localStorage key based on PROJECT_ID, ensuring roadmap progress is stored independently for each project detail page. I tested across multiple projects and confirmed that progress no longer carries over between projects. Requesting another review.

[somu0571]

@komalharshita sorry for my rude behaviour, but you were not active since 4 - 5 days , & there is no way to contact you regarding this PR.
