7 Days of Sun

About

'7 Days of Sun' is a last minute travel and weather-report JavaScript Single Page Application which shows only sunny locations in the coming 7 days.

'7 Days of Sun' was built as a group project during Web Development Immersive at General Assembly London.

Problems

  • There's no travel-website and/or weather report which only returns you the sunny spots in a certain timeframe. Even though a hight percentage of travellers rather travel in sunny places than in rainy places.

Solution and how it works

  • '7 Days of Sun' shows you only sunny spots and allows you to book last minute flights
  • '7 Days of Sun' uses the JavaScript API from Google Maps to show the sunny locations.
  • '7 Days of Sun' uses the forecast.io API in order to get the sunny spots within the coming 7 days.
  • '7 Days of Sun' uses a Skyscanner-Plugin in order to make last minute bookings.
  • Users are able to register and login and can save their favourites in order to check at a later date if they are sunny.
  • '7 Days of Sun' offers a daily newsletter which sends you daily updates on sunny spots using Tinyletter.com.

Technologies

'7 Days of Sun' is built with Ruby on Rails with some help from:

  • JavaScript
  • jQuery
  • Underscore.JS
  • Font Awesome
  • Google Bootstrap
  • Google Maps API
  • forecast.io API

Project-Setup

  • Clickable Wireframes with Balsamiq file.pdf

  • Project-Planning with Trello Trello

###Credits

  • '7 Days of Sun' by Ryan, Alistair and Mathias
  • '7 Days of Sun' wouldn't have been possible without the vast coding knowledge of GA Teachers Alex, Caroline and Ollie.
