FindMeParking space is a marketplace portal that allows users to rent and lease parking spots. The app provides a marketplace for individuals and businesses to lease parking spots for visitors to rent, especially during crowded events in urban areas. One can think of the portal as Airbnb for parking spaces -- an interactive market where people with spare parking can sell their spaces for money to people looking for parking spots, particularly helpful for congested events.
The app came out as a hackathon project and is currently being maintained by me.
The project has been split between two branches, where the master branch (made up of just static files) is deployed on GitHub pages.
The dev branch contains the Flask source, which can be compiled to run on a server.
You can run the Flask backend by installing all dependencies using pip and then installing a virtual environment (recommended) and then running
export FLASK_APP=hello.pyThis should compile a production build of the app, suitable for deployment.
If you want to run the development build for testing, you can change the export settings and run
export FLASK_ENV=developmentTo finally run the Flask app, you should run
flask runThe app should be live on port 5000, unless specified otherwise.
