Backbone

The Backbone application displays a map of crowdsourced internet speeds. The data is crowdsourced by users at cafes, coffeeshops, libraries, etc.

Goal

Create a tool that helps users find cafes, libraries, and other public wifi access points with internet speeds that suit their needs

Headless browser that takes the CSV from Ookla daily then inputs data into db
Use browser location permission to determine where user is
Incorporate Google Places API so location autofills as user types
"Categorizing" internet speed (e.g. Joe's coffeeshop has a VERY fast average internet speed)
Map displaying places
- Clickable icons for Places
After speedtest, user is taken to page to input location
- Use Google auto-fill for location dropdown
- Log IP address here to link test with IP address

User goes to home page and is presented with map
User is able to search for their location to zoom map
There is a link in the navbar that takes the user to the speedtest page
On the speedtest page, user can run the test
On the speedtest page, there is an input to enter location
- IP address is grabbed during this input
