Location

You should have a drop-down menu to choose location

I second this!

Or like, share a location from Google maps and then drop it into Day

Lil research notes

• Maps autocomplete service for that sweet autocomplete: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/autocomplete
• And looks like there's a bunch of services that can turn place names into coords:
  • https://www.google.com/search?q=input+get+lat+long+from+place+name
  • Could use Google Maps API for this too or could try an alt:
  • https://www.latlong.net/convert-address-to-lat-long.html

Alright so we've got a little bit of the way there. Tell me what you guys think! https://pjpscriv.github.io/day/

Main things done:

• Updated the UI to be a bit more professional: proper buttons, text fields etc
• The date field now has a date picker you can use to pick different dates
• Lat + long are now text fields that can be edited directly as opposed to just shifting with the +/- buttons
• A "Location by name" field added (doesn't do anything atm)
• A button to switch between lat/long and location-by-name added

Extra notes:

To Do:

• Wire up the location-by-name to the Google Maps API to provide auto-complete suggestions as the user types then get the lat-long info when the user selects one. This should be pretty straightforward, I found the Maps API to do this, they provide a library and they provide $200 worth of calls to the API before they start charging.
• Add a way to reset the date back to current day

Bug:

• Looks like time zones are properly accounted for and all the times are displayed in NZ local time, so if you shift to a position on the opposite side of the world the sunrise / sunset times will be in NZ time and the "clock" will be flipped
