  • Use of JSON-LD to store locations and its associated timestamps.
  • Creating issues for each problem we have

WORK

  • Read documentation about all software we decided to include on the project.

EXPLANATION OF THE DECISIONS

  • We are new to these technologies, nonetheless after doing some research on them we concluded that they were the best options available. In addition, they are the most popular for web designing.
  • We decided to use OpenStreetMap instead of something like GoogleMaps for a couple of reasons. First of all, we don't like Google so much, but most importantly because the Maps API its not free. OpenStreetMap provided both a free and functional solution. For implementing it in React we used the library react-leaflet.
  • We decided to use JSON-LD because it is very useful, and compatible with the markup languages used in the PODs. Also it is similar to JSON which we are familiar with.
