Shop My Street

Description and Features

This repo is a Capstone project for my software engineering bootcamp with Springboard.

Concieved of as a way to make pandemic-time exploration a little easier, a user can set up a profile and search within a few set radius for key words. Using Yelp's API, you can see local businesses and points of interest and collect them as Discoveries.

Discoveries have a timestamp (Timezones are in progress for v2) can have personal notes, and can be marked as a Favorite. Once a user has a favorite, the categories of their Favorites are used to make some suggestions of other businesses they might enjoy.

    • For location data in user profile
  • (Timezone will be from Google Maps Timezone API)
