Can you see the trees?

Inspiration

In all honesty, I was going to do something else. But that actually wasn't feasible. So I came up with the funny idea of "a tree search tree search". Nottingham City Council (like many other councils) have fun datasets of random stuff - from grit bin placement to CCTV cameras. But they also have a massive list of all of the trees within the city region. I like doing fun stuff with weird data, so this seemed apt.

What it does

Literally just makes a set of binary trees containing Tree structs (each has a name, age, height, and other data). Responds to web requests with fun tree data.

How we built it

Painfully, mainly in Rust

Challenges we ran into

Actually having motivation to do it lol. And working out how to implement an API in rust. Thankfully libraries make all this easy nowadays.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Coming up with quite a funny idea

What we learned

Come up with your funny data-based hackathon project BEFOREHAND

What's next for Can you see the trees?

Probably not much
