PaRA Web Application

The PaRA Web Application is a front-end project developed for a Computer Engineering thesis, aimed at tracking and monitoring real-time coordinates transmitted by the PaRA Coordinates Tracker device. It is built using React JS, Firebase for authentication, Bing Maps API for mapping features, and Tailwind CSS for UI design.

Key Features

• Real-time Coordinate Tracking: The web application connects to the backend RESTful API made in PHP to fetch and display the real-time coordinates sent by the PaRA Coordinates Tracker device, facilitating seamless tracking and monitoring of the device's location.
• User Authentication: Firebase authentication is integrated into the application, ensuring secure access and user-specific functionalities.
• Interactive Map: The Bing Maps API is utilized to provide an interactive map interface, enabling users to visualize the coordinates and navigate the tracked location efficiently.
• User-Friendly UI: The application's user interface is designed using Tailwind CSS, offering a clean and intuitive layout for a seamless user experience.
