Run Recommender

Pitch

Gone are the days you spend hours looking through recommendations on the internet for trail runs or bike rides.

Problem

I've often spent hours looking through maps to find the ideal bike ride/run. This app will aggregate popular, scenic, easy, and harder routes for the user. For those who have no idea where to start, this could provide a good starting points.

Solution

This app will sort through user Strava data to make recommendations based on their activity history and any other preferences they specify on the app. It would take data from Strava and aggregate popular/obscure routes based on the user's profile.

FactoryBot/Faker Demo

For Turing BE Mod2 - MiniShop

https://github.com/turingschool-examples/mini_shop

Are you sick of writing fake data for tests? If you are, then your test files probably look something like this. This is what your index spec probably looks like for a project like MiniShop. You create 3 merchants and 3 items for each merchant and make sure those items show up on your index page...

What is the value of a checklist?

Checklists are great for keeping track of multiple tasks, no matter how big or small. Bigger tasks may have several smaller bullet points underneath to healp break it up into more managable chunks, while smaller tasks are worth including to make sure they aren't missed. It can also help maintain a more tangible sense of accomplishment. It can be very satisfying to see a major task slowly but visibly reduced as work continues on the project. Personally, my experiences in climbing and mountaineering has shown me the power of tick-lists; a collections of summit objectives. It is very easy to stay focused on a larger goal when there are many smaller bite-sized goals to aim for.

What do you plan to improve while at Turing?

Beside the obvious technical goal of learning how to code, I hope to get more comfortable working collaboratively in larger groups. I'm very comfortable working alone or in smaller groups, but larger group
