Description

For now, the exported Json contains unformatted floats with too many decimal places. It might be a good idea to round to integer or limit precision when exporting to Json to have smaller files.

Encoding code is located in file client/src/Data/Annotation.elm.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the JSON encoding in client/src/Data/Annotation.elm to see how floats are serialized, then explore Elm's Json.Encode options for float precision. Consider using rounding or a custom encoder with limited decimal places, and check existing tests for affected functions.
