The broad idea is an app like Yelp but for hiking tracks. Particularly relevant for New Zealand as there is a functioning public API which contains almost all hiking tracks in the country and their own website is rather poor and hard to navigate.
Backend is built with Ruby on Rails, users are securely managed with Devise and JWT tokens are used to manage user sessions. Database and server are with PostgreSQL.
Frontend is built with React-JS and state is managed with Redux. Styling with Bootstrap and custom CSS.
