beta-map's Issues

Add galleria to browse all photos on map

Add galleria javascript library and play with viewing all photos in a lightbox

Use production setting in heroku

Sinatra is using 'test' profile in heroku, static asset is not cached. Investigate how to change profile to production.

Separate real-time & search views

Move real-time map and search map into 2 views, create a tabbed view layout

Add photo taken date/time to info window

split text fields into two panels

keyword and location text fields don't look good atm. When putting them together user may get confused. Try splitting them into different panels

Add marker to realtime view (high priority)

and update every 10 seconds (adding new photos/removing old).

This issue is high priority! Please pick up first.

Search by user's name or username

In search view, if user type in this pattern "user xxxxx", then search photos by user "xxxxx".
(Not sure if it's possible to search by user in instagram)
