I forked this from https://github.com/AnasQiblawi/Real-Time-Location-Sharing-App.

• It assumes HTTP. Use it with a reverse proxy like Apache Web Server's pointing to the app port (I've hardcoded it to be 8000).
• I haven't conducted a security audit, and it doesn't use end-to-end encryption. It uses CDNs but I have tried to set the crossorigin and integrity on all such imports for better security and privacy. Use it only for locations you'd be fine having public. None of the above is a warranty, and the ISC's disclaimer clause still applies.

This application contains text specific to the deployment, but that can be easily removed.
