• I used this more as a practice project.
• What I actually wanted to do with it was not possible with the free tools/resources/apis I could find.
• Might spend some time on it in future.

Rough sketch

• Create a tool that can be used to conduct research over geographical areas
  • The research can be of types like
    • Land prices
    • Hotel/resort per night prices with availability

Rough implementation

• Get the user query -> type, area coordinates or bounding box within which to search
• Collect data
  • For collecting data you have to scrape the internet
    • so need some kind of web scraper
• Filter data
• Overlay over the map

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React
• Backend: Go
