Skate it. Rate it. Pass it to the left.

Ever found yourself in a new city with some time to spare but no way to find good local spots? SpotFinder will allow you to search for, post, rate, and review your favorite (or not so favorite) skate spots worldwide.

Using Mongoose for database storage and Express for all routing this web based CRUD app is simple under the hood and very user friendly. All styles are 100% vanilla CSS.

Redirecting to 404 with path /spots/(unique spot_id)/reviews need to drop the /reviews return from redirect. Being added due to req.session.returnTo = req.originalUrl; line in middlewear. Need to redirect back to spot show page from the review POST button.
11.30.22 -- Add authentication for all routes (will build middlewear to handle as everything works right). Add SpotAuthor to all actions (new, edit, delete, review). Add author to main show page (will add for reviews next). Re-seeded database to reflect Author changes. Have yet to fix redirect error after user log-in detailed on the 29th. Can't figure it out and trying not to break everything while I fix it.
12.01.22 -- Refactor all routes. Controllers and Ratings complete. Rating STARS added to post form and by NUMBER added to review list. Auth for rating not complete, will submit 1 star as default. Need to add js to handle rating input.
12.02.22 -- Cloudinary set up and tested. Using MULTER to parse info for Cloudinary. Added .ENV for all environment variables. Images added to models and parsing to Cloudinary and Mongoose (saving as URL sent from Cloudinary).
12.03.22 -- Image upload for NEW and EDIT routes working. Cloudinary starage and API working. Mongoose getting URL link for images working. Styles are still temporary and getting more screwed up daily! All routes tested and working.
12.04.22 -- All Image Basics complete. upload and delete routes working. Need to circle back and make sure all images are being deleted from Cloudinary on SPOT DELETE as well as IMAGE DELETE. Spot Delete currently NOT removing from Cloudinary storage.
12.05.22 -- Maps added to INDEX and SHOW pages. Connection to populate db data working. PopUps on Single Spot markers working. Cluster map for INDEX working. Need to style colors and grouping but overall looking OK. Just need to do a final refactor and should have a working Beta up and live ahead of schedule.

12.07.22 -- Needs some refactoring but overall the backend is solid and working. Code is readable to me for whatever that's worth. All styles need to be completely redone. There are some leaks but no massive bugs I can find. Will deploy in the AM to make styles collab easier with others. Using paid Dyno but free AtlasDB. Nothing should come close to moxing out the space allotted. Fingers crossed.
12.09.22 -- v1 LIVE @ https://spotfinder.herokuapp.com All basic functionality in place and working. Some small bugs popping up but nothing drastic. Looks like shit, needs a total revamp. Will start mobile first re-design in early Jan.
