Welcome to the treemap wiki!

This is an open source project for mapping urban trees.

Architecture

This is an API-first application, with backend written in Rust, and frontend written in TypeScript (Vue). For database, we use SQLite, for processing requests we use Amazon SQS (maybe a local queue implementation, also based on SQLite?).

Requirements

User experience:

• The app must work on mobile phones.
• The app lists trees on the visible rectangle.
  • Use Geolocation API to center the screen on start.
  • Use clustering to group multiple trees.
• Clicking on a tree should bring a dialog with information on that tree.
  • That information includes GPS coordinates, genus, photos.
  • There is a Share button to share this exact tree.
  • There is a Subscribe button to follow changes made to that tree.
• There is an Add button that opens a dialog to add a new tree.

Database:

• Store individual trees with the following attributes: id, lat, lon, genus, year_planted, height.
• Store multiple photos for each tree. Each photo has a full resolution URL and a thumbnail URL.
