Inspiration

The use of possibly saving wildlife is what really inspired me to work on this project. Also, I just like to be as helpful as I can.

What it does

It takes surveys and can upload the coordinates from the survey to the photos automatically.

How we built it

I built it using Node.js as the back end and React as the front end.

Challenges we ran into

Definitely getting mediaValet connected was a challenge. I also had a challenging time getting the mongodb connection to connect on production for some reason. I do have an azure instance live but the mongodb was not working on it so I did the video in localhost.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of getting most of the workflow functioning in the time I had.

What we learned

I learned that it can be a real challenge to protect wildlife out in the real world. Also, I learned other methods of connecting to API services.

What's next for Docutraps

I would love to fully flesh out the app I have started. I believe it has a real potential to make life easier when it comes to that whole workflow. I would have love to insert an Esri map with points filled in from where surveys where taken and be able to click on a point and see what surveys and pictures have been taken there. I would also like to have the dashboard fleshed out, it really could have been useful.
