#Trip Tracker Online

A prototype web application for [Boulder Valley School District's Trip Tracker program] (http://www.bvsd.org/transportation/toschool/tracker/Pages/default.aspx) designed to reward kids who use alternative transportation to get to school.

[Trip Tracker Online] (https://triptrackeronline.firebaseapp.com/) aims to provide a fun and engaging way for students to record their trips and chart their progress online. It uses strategic color coding and data-driven graphics. See a live demo here: https://triptrackeronline.firebaseapp.com/. (Please be patient when loading…due to free hosting the database must first "wake up".)

The back end is in a separate repo found here: https://github.com/jennyknuth/triptracker. Using an Express/Node.js server, data from mongoDB is sent to an API hosted on Heroku.

On the front end, a thick AngularJS client consumes the API and allows users to view, create, edit, and delete their trips. Data input is quick, responsive, and free from "submit" buttons. Color-coded trips create fun visual patterns.

Charts are D3.js custom directives in AngularJS.
