#Restaurant-Tracker

This repository contains a restaurant tracking app I am in the process of creating to "scratch an itch".

Personal Itch

My wife and I enjoy going out to eat; often. We love trying new restaurants and we tend forget what we ate, who we went with, when we went, if we liked it etc... Also, when we drive by new restaurants we sometimes say "let's try this place". Then a few weeks roll by and we want to head out to a new restaurant. Neither one of us remembers that place we drove by. So, this app will be used to track restaurants we have visited and restaurants we want to visit sometime in the future.

Technical Itch

1. Play around with Kinvey BaaS
2. Play around with Handlebars.js

To Do:

• Styling: need to create stylesheets and layout of app

  • Two column layout - visited / desired
  • Overall LaF

• Separation: Create clean separation of JS code.

  • Integrate with Handlebars
  • Define file/directory structure

• Add ability to create a desired restaurant

  • Display desired restaurants

• Social Integration

  • Create login via Twitter/FB
  • Add ability to share restaurant visits

• Validations

  • Client Side
  • Server Side

• Add datepicker

• Add ability to convert desired restaurant to visited one

  • Make it possible to fill in blank fields

• Add ability to edit visited restaurants

• Once happy with functionality - Investigate converting to EmberJS or Backbone

• Consider swapping out Kinvey with custom rails backend
