Hey there, thanks for checking out this PhotoLoco. I created this application for my Flatiron School Project #4: JavaScript and Rails API Project.
The idea for PhotoLoco came from my own experience: I’m trying to start my own photography side business, and one of the big parts of shooting photography (outside of a studio) is finding good locations for photos. I wanted to create a site where users could share photographable locations with other photographers. Locations are made by one user, but photos of the location can be uploaded by multiple users. In the future, I would like to add a Tag feature, so similar Locations could be found by tag, as well as a search bar for users to find locations near them.
To use this app, clone this repository, change directories into photoloco/backend. Run rails db:create, rails db:migrate, rails db:seed, and then rails s. Then open photoloco/frontend/index.html.
