current concept: generalized social media map app

• Reddit and Twitter focus almost entirely on discussions around news articles with strangers. Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram are almost entirely around images with friends. Build a web app prototype that builds social interactions around shared geography.
• Include a map that allows people to see posts made by users.
• Create signup, login, and create-post form.
• Create a list of posts sorted primarily by distance from user.

Dpendencies needed for project:

• Firebase firestore (database)
• Firebase auth (user tracking and password encryption)
• Leafletjs for maps
• Quill for Rich text editing of posts.
• Bootstrap for layout
• Jquery for state changes and event handling (npm / nodejs is not allowed)

Todo: Components etc..

• Embed map

• Connect to firestore

• Connect to firebase auth

• Create sign in

• Create post form

• Create Post list sorted by coordinates

• Query database by geohash quadrants for greater efficiency.

• Create user profile

• Create post list by user

• Create subthreads for posts

• Create post replies

• Create categories for different kinds of posts,

• Create more useful map overlays and layers, including weather, temp, heatmaps based on which post has the most replies, clicks, or some other metric.

• Improve ui

• Use a better design pattern like pub-sub to handle state changes more efficiently and allow for greater complexity of components.

• Refactor code to be more like publishable code and less like blocks of trash
