Inspiration
We realized there is no good way to find the current locations of food trucks around me
What it does
allows users to see nearby food trucks, and food trucks to update their location in real time
How we built it
next.js with typescript, and mongodb, we used stripe api for payments to food trucks, mongodb to store data, and mapbox api for our map
Challenges we ran into
difficulties with the stripe api and mapbox api integrations, as well as twilio which we tried to use but decided against.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
making an aesthetic ui with a map and lots of options, as well as a backend that supports users, vendors, and location data.
What we learned
a lot about mapping in javascript, the business proposition of an app like this, and integrating nextjs with services like mongodb and stripe
What's next for Foodtruck.io
hopefully we can continue to build, start getting users, and connecting people with their favorite food trucks on a daily basis
