Inspiration
Our inspiration was incorporating the "A land before RowdyHacks" theme into a website where users could obtain dinosaur related information.
What it does
After a user creates an account and logs in, the user enters in their city and a listing of the nearest dinosaur related searches from Google Maps appears.
How we built it
A ton of coding with CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and HTML. Also setting up a SQL database to store user information.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into numerous challenges. Setting up the API to Google Maps was one major challenge. Another was setting up a database to collect user information. Once a domain name was set aide - using porkbun to get the website displaying properly also proved a challenge - which was ultimately not overcome.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Having the shell for a site that users can log into and search the nearest dinosaur related attractions.
What we learned
Incorporating APIs and a database into your first website is a pain.
What's next for Dino Destinations
Finding a domain/host for the website.
