###Final project
Map to the Future is a map displaying historical events, with a slider that allows to change the current date.
Each historical event is represented by a marker, and can be clicked to display a pop up providing additional information and links about the event.
The website allows to upload your own historical events.
This was our final project at Makers Academy, created by:
- Dave Wickes (GypsyDave)
- Tatiana Soukiassian (binaryberry)
- Merve Silk (Mervodactyl)
- Lovis Schultze (NineInchNade)
During the two weeks it took us to create the app, we used Agile techniques:
- Kanban
- Retrospective
- Pair Programming
- Compulsory morning hug!
####Technologies Used
- Ruby
- Sinatra
- Javascript
- RSpec
- Cucumber
- Capybara
- CSS
- HTML
- Mapbox
- Leaflet
- JQuery
####My contribution
- I researched similar projects and map tools we could use
- I set up the postgres database allowing to link events between them (using datamapper)
- I styled the pop ups in CSS
- I built a mail-merge system that allowed us to use volunteers to input large amounts of data at the last minute
- I kept the Kanban board always up-to-date
- I prepared the keynote presentation
- During our retro I suggested a widely successful morning hug ritual!
