Inspiration
We wanted something a little humorous but also practical, and when we were thinking of problems we'd all faced in the recent past, one rang true with us all, the need to know where the nearest public restroom is.
What it does
The website displays the location of all public restrooms on a map. Locations are added by the community, and each location has a list of facilities, reviews, and genders available.
How we built it
We used Bootstrap and basic HTML/CSS/JS for the frontend, and Flask in Python for the backend. Our database is MongoDB Atlas, which stores the locations.
Challenges we ran into
There was a lot more HTML than we expected, and we were learning new frameworks on all sides.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The form that pop ups is pretty cool, and the database automatically assigns an incrementing ID when a location is added.
What we learned
What's next for ToiletTourist
We hope to add verification for locations by submitting a photo. Furthermore, we could add routing capabilities, showing you the fastest route to the nearest restroom. Lastly a mobile deployment would be very important for the convenience of the user.
