Features

StrickLife allows you to create posts representing different activities you do in your life. To each post, you can add a date you did it, related tags, a photo, and a location.

Posts can then be viewed on a calendar to create a log of your life, and by location so you can always see what you did and where you did it.

Technologies

StrickLife's Backend is built on Ruby on Rails. It includes a taggable table to allow for more types of tags (like friends) to be added through polymorphic associations and even a taggable concern.

Extensibility is easy, though these features have yet to be implemented.

On the front end, StrickLife is a backbone.js application. The main index page is contains 3 layered deep nested subviews in order to cluster posts by month and by day. I've opted for a custom composite view rather than using Marionette.js

StrickLife takes advantage of a few libraries to enhance functionality: Google Maps API Google Geocoder MarkerClusterer CLNDR.js Sticky-kit Boostrap
