Inspiration
TripAdvisor's website is expansive and full of data, but what if you just wanted a quick look at the top 10 places around you?
What it does
Howlet brings a fun new way to look at information about a location--an owl avatar! Each owl is tailored to fit the most relevant data in a quick peek at a location: kind of location, price, rating.
How I built it
We used Google's Data Location API in order to access the users location. After determining the user's location we extract the latitude and longitude, and then make a request to TripAdvisor's API.
Challenges I ran into
TripAdvisor did not provide enough key's and their service soon reached the max request for the day.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Teamwork! Learned many things in a quick period of time.
What I learned
Prior to this experience our team mates did not have much Web Dev experience. After this Hackathon we have a decent understanding of Web Technologies.
What's next for Howlet
More options for narrowing down search results. Mobile Apps.
