Where Next?

Where Next? is an application made for travelers. The platform is built using Google Places API to keeping track of locations as well as basic ratings and information for the places you wish to visit.

User Stories and Motivation:

• Travelers often times do not know where to go in a new city. How can we help someone to quickly find places around San Francisco and beyond? Enter Where Next?. This platform enables someone to browse for places without the need to create a Yelp/Google account. This will feature places with user ratings, average cost(where applicable) and a few other features.
• The motivation behind this is to create an easy and seamless user experience without the need to create complicated profiles and login services.

Project overview:

• Quick and responsive UI components built with React and Bootstrap
• Node.JS with Express for a lightweight back end server
• dotenv to load environment-specific variables
• redis as in-memory, database storage solution
