Mapish
Wat?
Mapish simply lets you manage named locations while displaying a map based on the location's geocoded data. Cool.
Really, this was just an excuse to finally play around with Sinatra and Backbone. I wrote tests, made things RESTful, battled many bugs, and ended up with a toy that I'm pretty happy with.
Try it out
If you want to try Mapish out yourself clone this repo, run bundle, and finally rackup.
Or just go here and give it a shot (Heroku takes a bit to load development instances, so be patient.)
Stuff I Used
- Sinatra - Handles all the backend stuff.
- Backbone - Manages all client side interactions.
- Foundation - Responsive websites are hard. This makes it a tad easier!
- Coffeescript - Because who wants to write javascript?
- RSpec - Write tests. Do it.
Want to help?
If you have any suggestions or want to fork the project and play on your own, feel free! This is all just for fun anyway.
