For our group project in WDI 19 Sydney, we have created a geolocating web app that would eventually be used as a marketing platform for local area businesses.
The application enables promoters to place a point of interest on a generated google map and attach a file to the location. This would be some sort of enticement for users to visit the physical location.
Once a user logs in, their current location is mapped and all ‘Challenges“ in’ within range are populated. Users can then chose one to complete. This will map a route to the location of the challenge.
Once close enough to the location, users are rewarded with a trigger even. In a real world scenario, this would be drawing a crowd of people to receive free offers or to see an entertainment event.
The project was created using Ruby on Rails, Jquery, Javascript, PostgreSQL, Twitter Bootstrap and Google Maps API.
