MeetUp

Inspiration

Instead of spending a lot of time, seeing which location would be closer to everyone, just entering the locations into the program, it'll tell which would be the closest

What it does

Takes in all the locations of people and all the meetup locations, sends a post HTTP request to the bing maps rest API, and gets a distance matrix. analyzes the distance matrix, to find the closest location, and console.log() that location

How we built it

used the bing maps rest API to get the distance matrix, did some basic arithmetic to calculate the closest

Challenges we ran into

the response from bing maps API call, was not the easiest to navigate

Accomplishments that we're proud of

it took just a couple of hours to build the whole project

What we learned

working with bing maps, using axios for sending HTTP requests from js

What's next for MeetUp

instead of hard-coding all the locations, get user-input; make a mobile app to ease the user experience
