Wanderment is a soldout campsite reservation notifier that makes getting outside easier. Users can select multiple campsites they'd like to visit for a chosen date range. The program will then check for availability every 5 minutes and send a text message via Twilio if the criteria return availability.
Backend: Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy
Frontend: Javascript, jQuery, Bootstrap, AJAX, React, HTML, CSS
APIs: Recreation.gov, Twilio
Wanderment was created by Brittany Morton as her first full-stack web app. Learn more or get in contact with the developer on LinkedIn.
Add more data Campsites across the US are private, public, state, and national parks. Therefore, their campsite reservations are hosted on various websites. At the moment, I am only using recreation.gov, which is national parks. I plan to add reserveCA campsites as well as. And maybe eventually add international parks like Torres del Paine.
Permit information Reacreation.gov also stores permit information for popular hikes such as Half Dome and Mt. Whitney. I’d like to display key dates to users in a ‘permit’ section.
One React route Since the app is essentially one form, I would like to make it into one React route.
