#Let's Go!

A geographical transient social network powered by Objective-C and Ruby on Rails.

This project was done as a final course project for iOS Development Course during summer 2014.

What's Let's Go?

• A social network
• A user can post his current status
  • The status will then be annotated on the map to the current user's geolocation
• We already have lots of different social networks. Why do we need another one?
  • Let's Go! is Transient
  • Let's Go! is Geographical
  • Let's Go! is Local
  • Let's Go! is Based on maps

It's Transient

• All the data will be wiped off of the servers in 20 minutes
• Seeing it from this angle, it acts like Snapchat, with no permanent data

It's Local

• The users can see other people's statuses in their local vicinity which have been posted in the last 20 minutes
• Presently the radius is 5 miles

Frontend

• It's written in Objective-C and is optimized for all iphones including iPhone 6
• The code is located in iOSApp-Let'sGo Folder

Backend

• The backend server is written with Ruby on Rails
• It doesn't use normal RoR, just Rails::API
  • Using it, we limit our Rails app to include only things necessary for API-driven apps
• It's hosted on Heroku
  • http://lets-go.herokuapp.com
• The code is located in 'Rails backend' folder
