The July Hackathon is now complete and we created an app about wild swimming and the benefits for our mental health of being in nature and swimming in a body of water. The project topic was my idea and I plan to investigate this topic some more, maybe using it for one of my projects.
Our instructions were to think mobile first so it had to be an app.
The app we created ended up on netlify
https://aqua-la-vista.netlify.app/
The other instruction was to make sure our app either used user photos or geolocation. We chose location and created a search bar so people can search for wild swimming events in their local area.
We struggled with getting the search results to open and provide directions, plus a few other things.
The GitHub repo is here:
https://github.com/Ant2210/aqua-la-vista
We came up with the team name The Wet & The Restless plus the website name Aqua La Vista using chatGPT.
Our team didn’t end up in the winning three but it was fun to create and it was my first look at React plus using more of GitHub pull requests.
