| 308 | +## 🐛 Known Limitations |
| 309 | + |
| 310 | +1. **Data File Size:** 6.2MB exceeds GitHub's 1MB recommendation |
| 311 | + - **Impact:** Slower initial load on slow connections |
| 312 | + - **Mitigation:** Gzip compression (automatic), browser caching |
| 313 | + - **Future:** Pagination, data splitting, lazy loading |
| 314 | + |
| 315 | +2. **No Cloud Sync:** Data stored locally only |
| 316 | + - **Impact:** Data not synced across devices |
| 317 | + - **Workaround:** Export learning paths |
| 318 | + - **Future:** Optional account system |
| 319 | + |
| 320 | +3. **Static Data:** No live GitHub API integration |
| 321 | + - **Impact:** No real-time star counts/updates |
| 322 | + - **Workaround:** Regenerate data.json periodically |
| 323 | + - **Future:** API integration for live data |
| 324 | + |
| 325 | +4. **No Collaboration:** Learning paths can't be shared live |
| 326 | + - **Impact:** Can't collaborate on paths |
| 327 | + - **Workaround:** Export/import Markdown files |
| 328 | + - **Future:** URL-based path sharing |
| 329 | + |
