Inspiration

As a traveller, resident or explorer, it's often hard to know what's happening locally and precisely where. It's even harder to start a conversation with those people. This progressive web app aims to solve this issue, with a location based thread style social media platform.

What it does

View conversations, threads and news based on a map. Visit Australia and see what's happening over there. Or just browse your local area, at specific locations to check out what's happening. See a huge red patch? That means there's a lot of activity going on there. Search for the best content visually and explore the world as we know it.

How we built it

React framework. Using Open Street Maps, Leaflet API and heatmaps library.

Challenges we ran into

It was a learning experience for all of us. We learnt a lot. For many of us, we did not know much about the React framework and much of the time was spent teaching others. It was worth it, however!
