the journey, of what Gil eats
MIT License
What does Gil eat, and where does he get it from? The question of ages! I have a lot of fun getting him food, and he has a lot of fun eating it, and given that this trend will likely continue for many years, I wanted a way to keep a proper log of this data. I wanted pictures, locations, and reviews or descriptions. Thus, I wanted to create a simple database and visualization toward this goal. Specifically, I wanted the following:
The most appropriate visualization for this goal is a map. Likely we won't be encumbered with data anytime soon (even a few thousand records isn't too many to retrieve for one go) so to start I'll go for a simple rendering of images (as points) on the map.
Dropbox has a nice API that is going to let me easily create an application, and then have (Gil) authenticate into his account in order to add a restaurant, which will be done with a form. The data (images and json with comments/review) will be retrieved from this same folder.
That's the gist, for full details see my post at https://vsoch.github.io/2016/gileats
