Solving one of the main issues of people that work in office buildings: finding were X sits

Comment

Inspiration

How many times have you heard the question "Where is your desk?", "Where is X's desk?"

it's frustrating, and anoying, google maps and GPS doesn't work in an office building... and searching for someone is based on vague descriptions of how to get there

What it does

you upload a picture, or use an existing one, and put a pin with where you are. A link is generated and you can send it to the person that is looking for you. Simple and easy...

How we built it

Javascript vanilla, for calculating where you've put the pin and displaying the pin on position. Symphony for the backend, upload photos and save pin locations...

Challenges we ran into

CSS beat the s*** out of us... with position absolute and fixed :))

Provisioning the hack machine proved to be challenging, until it was pointed to us by a supreme (being) that the port nginx needed was used by someone else, and discovered we had apache installed... Uninstalled the apache, and it worked :))))

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • First time used a bootstrap for a site :))
  • Provisioning the demo server by the book

What we learned

How to use a bootstrap refreshed my basic knoledge of javascript if you rebuild the CSS on production environment you will not see the changes you did on your local one... use 100vw instead of 100% if s*** ain't working if port 80 is occupied by apache nginx won't start... geometry is complicated
