A tool for anyone to find some sunshine!
- Not just beach-goers
- Hiking
- Outdoor sports
- Camping
- Sunshine while I code
- Not everyone wants to hear about how much sunscreen they should put on
- Are you really going to remember to use an app every time you go to the beach?
- What if an app could answer “Where’s the beach at”?
- At the same time, users can learn about how to protect themselves from the sun
- Technology:
- (seriously, where's the mark up editor?)
- Web page
- Google Maps Javascript API
- Server API’s hosted on Google Compute
- Process and combine API data from various sources
- OpenWeather API
- Weather and temeprature
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) API
- UV index projections
- No database, just a lot of files in S3.
- No caching (yet!)
