What I did
Built a full-stack site using MongoDB, Express, Node, React, Next.js, Less, and Mapbox maps. The site allows users to search for tattoo shops in Washington State based on location, color, and style.
Context
When a family member was looking for a tattoo artist, I was shocked to see how he did it: browsing Instagram tags for the style that he wanted, hoping to find someone whose style he liked in his area.
At the time, I was purely a front-end developer, but wanted to learn how to build my own API, so I started learning and applying it to my own API. I worked on it slowly over nights and weekends for about a year before launching an alpha version. It's not perfect, but the basic SLC functionality is there.
I have a high regard for my users' privacy, so I'm using a GDPR-friendly, no-cookie, lightweight analytics tool called TinyAnalytics.
I plan to continue to develop this site, adding new features such as authentication, image uploading, reviews, and many more tagged shops.
