alley-cheetah-site

A website that helps find optimal routes for alley cats like Cranksgiving. It uses the Google Maps Directions API, so you'll need to get an API key to run it.

Usage:

npm install
export GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
export DEBUG=server:*
npm start

then open http://localhost:3000

TODOs / Braindump

• Show car routes as well (in case they're faster/shorter than bike routes)

• Highways/etc should be disabled

• This will cost extra API calls
• Allow "n choose k" waypoint constraints (maybe require API key?)
• Generate a static map with markers showing all locations?

• https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro#Markers

• Note that the labels can only be one character, so colors would have to differentiate either rows or columns
• Scrape grocery store addresses and prioritize them in autocomplete?

• Use OCR to allow easier input?
