/GeoCatch

MERN-stack, MapBox, Chakra, and Tailwind application where the user takes a photo from a location and can play photo-tag with other users who respond with geo-locked photos. The idea is to place images "GeoCatches" and catch them for a "GeoCaught".

Description

The GeoCatch app tries to blend active phone use, physical activity, and photography passions into a gameified adventure photo game. GeoCatch is a location-based photo game where you can challenge other users to locate where you took a photo. A second user must take a separate photo in the first photo's area and try to get as close as possible to the GeoCatch photo challenge original post.

We felt the need to push our full-stack skills and toolkit. Adding Mapbox, Chakra, and Turf to our list of skills felt especially challenging and enriching. We learned that React has plenty of single-page purposes, modals are useful, geospatial data and geojsons are super cool, and that we can apply our full-stack technologies and skills towards any project, so long as we appropriately plan for the complex logic and design standards. We dipped into new technologies: Exif.js to extract photo metadata, Multer to parse the metadata, and Turf.js to work on maps with geojson data. The difficulties we learn from were parsing geojson into MongoDB database collections in order to represent the data on MapBox and front-end templates.
