Soldout campsite reservation notifier

Primary LanguageJavaScript

🍁 Wanderment

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.

Future Features

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.

Ability to login This would allow users to manage their requests

Display most popular campgrounds on homepage On the landing page, display the most searched campsites to the users when they arrive at the site.
