Technologies and Technical Challenges

  1. Google Maps API integration
  • Google maps will play a role in allowing users to visualize distances to prospective volunteer opportunities. Integration will need to include a mapping feature in the creation of each Ask and population of the map with already created instances on the index/search page.
  1. Mongo DB implementation
  • Storing information in a node tree structure, we will have documents and collections for users and asks.
  1. Heroku hosting
  • Getting the live site on Heroku with demo user for ease of access.
  1. React/Node JS
  • Front-end visualization of information from the Mongo DB backend.
