did get a bit further with it but not deployed it yet. Had some other priorities come up unfortunately so it's slow progress

I published up the latest version but it's not come that far. pin clustering added to handle lots of pins in the same area, and a basic geocoder implemented (location search)

How do you intend to let users add themselves?

Will you make a PHP / MySQL based mini-admin kind of thing? Then use PHP to generate your date on the output page for your handlebar stuff?

Oh god no, not "phppish" haha.

Data will be stored in Azure blob storage and JSON generated on request.

There'll be some kind of form to complete to sign up

Ha, fair enough!

btw: What's wrong with a nice simple PHP / MySQL Setup?

I don't use it personally as I build apps on Microsoft tech, but it definitely serves a purpose love it or hate it.

That would by my first choice - only because I do php / mysql stuff everyday (Also "liquid" - Shopify partner so do lots of shopify liquid stuff)

How do you feel about doing that for this? I'm going to struggle with tie over the next few weeks. I could finish off all the front-end/mapping piece and you handle the DB and API for me to get the data out in JSON format

Do you already have mysql/php available? I'm assuming you're using something like a temp url since it's a subdomain of "azurewebsites.net"

I've not, it's just a flat azure app service I have with blob storage service.

We need to find someone who can host that if it goes down that route. I've got Google maps on a month's free trial at the moment too and although it's not even a live website it's already accrued about £7 worth of usage. This may be a complete non starter anyway

What are the hosting requirements?

Dang!! That sucks.

I have hosting myself, I have an "unlimited" package so I can host it no problems and obv have PHP / MySQL etc so hosting is no issue.

I'm guessing there's no "free" alternative? I thought google maps was free, but then in fairness, I've not had to deal with google maps on sites in such a long time
