Location-centric local discovery app. An open-source react-native app where users can pin points of interest on a shared map. Visibility is limited to nearby points of interest.
Wikipedia layer shows a Wikipedia 'story' of articles that are attached to geographic points close to current location. It is based on Geosearch API of wikipedia, that you can see here, and try here. The story includes also the main image of each article, if there exists one.
I'm adding also marker icons for wikipedia layer points, and for "your location" marker.
Note that in order to avoid over requesting from our server to wiki servers, the whole work is done in frontend, using separate get request from the frontend to wiki API. The backend isn't involved in this process at all.
