Portapoo App

A friend asked for an app where he could add portapotties he's found on dirt bike trails. (Distinct from other public toilet apps/apis.) We talked about using a custom map generator, but I also wanted some practice with Svelte. It's pretty bare bones at the moment; users can add a lat/long, a comment, and a rating. This was mostly a weekend project but I'm decently proud of how it turned out, and it works for the needs of my friend/client/

This project is not in very active development, but future improvements may include photo uploads and a verification system. The idea would be that a user can, instead of adding a new one, upload their own photo and/or essentially vouch for the current status of the porta-potty. This is both to keep the information current and for safety concerns. As a solo woman traveller, I am not sure that I would feel comfortable going to a lat/long coordinate provided by a random stranger, but would feel much more comfortable if that lat/long coordinate were confirmed by 100 users. Unknown if I would want to try to implement full user profiles so that people could be trusted potty raters... all of that would probably depend on having a dedicated fanbase. Currently there is 1 user and I am not actively promoting it anywhere, so this may never come to pass.
