The thought process went as follows:
- Oh hey, look, it's a Tesla!
- Oh hey, look, it's another Tesla!
- Gee, I've seen a lot of Teslas this week... I wish I could easily keep track of when and where I've seen them.
- Wait, I could make an app for that!
- This would be a great excuse to teach myself React Native! (I'm a huge fan of React)
And thus, this app was born.
(Available on the Play Store!)[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslaspotting] iOS support coming soon.
Clone this repo, then
npm install
then follow the instructions under the "Building Projects with Native Code" tab on the React Native docs. Skip the "Creating a New Application" section. In the next section, run the downloaded project instead.
Beta is out! This is the MVP version of the app, sporting the bare necessity spotting features.
There are quite a few upcoming features on the horizon, including
- A user should be able to take pictures of the Tesla they spot.
- A user should be able to find their friends who use the app and see the Teslas they have spotted.
