I've created a Flask app that allows users to add and view comments tied to specific locations on a map. Here is how it works 1. Users can browse a world map and leave comments at any location. 2. Comments become visible when a user's cursor is within 50m of the comment's coordinates 3. Ideal for sharing local insights, tourist tips, restaurant recommendations, etc. It's also ideal for shitposting. I built this over the course of a few hours as demo to help me learn to how deploy a flask application using digital ocean droplets. I have listed the tech stack below - SQLite - Flask - AlpineJS - Digital ocean droplet. - MapTiler It's missing SSL so I will fix that at some point as I want to figure out how to do that. Bot protection would also be good to figure out as well as a better system for displaying comments. Overall droplets are a nice way to deploy stuff and much cheaper than using Vercel(Nothing new there!)
