The Philly Mural Finder is a mobile application which ads an interaction layer to the thousands of murals from the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program.
The base mural data comes from http://www.muralfarm.org
- Setup a local webserver (MAMP, XAMPP, etc.)
- Fork this repository into a folder that is accessible by your webserver (i.e. /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/)
- View the app in a webkit broswer by going to http://localhost/{path to muralapp}/public/index.html
This project is new and liable to change quickly, but here is the vision for the first few iterations.
- A map loads in a mobile browser showing murals near them.
- A user can select a mural and find out more information on it (photo, description, etc.).
- A user can favorite a mural.
- A user can comment on a mural.
- A user can ‘share’ a mural. (e.g. facebook/twitter)
- Data collection capabilities
→ Research and understand needs of mural art community
→ Research public wall spaces in Philadelphia - Make separate native app versions of web app
→ iPhone platform
→ Android platform
→ Use PhoneGap for conversion
Future versions:
- Expand upon the types of art mapped
