Challenges we ran into

Implementing our platform, we adeptly integrated MAPBOX APIs to create an interactive map displaying stall locations from our dataset. Achieving accurate user geolocation data retrieval for nearby stalls posed a notable challenge, which we surmounted by crafting a unique distance calculation function.

Facilitating user-contributed images demanded Cloudinary's prowess, enabling seamless image upload and storage of asset URLs in our database. This enhancement ensured authentic and engaging content presentation.

Additionally, our utilization of AWS S3 for media storage and accessible video links encountered complexities. Navigating through challenges, we successfully enabled streamlined video content management.

Our technical journey underscores innovation, resilience, and skillful solutions, fostering growth and technical advancement.
