Pocket Passport is a travel photo guide that allows users to find travel destinations and save pictures, and also see Yelp and Googlemaps information to find more details about the business and location. The pictures are sourced from Flickr.
Backend: Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy
Frontend: JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, Jinja2, Bootstrap, HTML5, CSS3, Masonry
APIs: Flickr, Yelp, Googlemaps
Users can save photos to their profile, view pictures based on different categories, and see Googlemaps and Yelp information.
The home page shows pictures previously saved by the user using a SQLalchemy database query.
After entering a location in the search bar, users can choose a category of pictures to view.
Users can then like or unlike pictures to save to their profile. Pictures are filtered to contain geodata.
Click the picture to view more details. The yelp location and rating are displayed by entering the latitude longitude data retrieved from Flickr, and reverse geocoding for a formatted address.
