Hi Tom,

Thanks for putting this together.

At the start of the pandemic, a group put together the following code to help build a big map of Mutual Aid groups across the UK. It is also in Javascript and React. Wonder if there is anything that can be borrowed from it?

For example, it contains Lambda code that scrapes a Google Sheet and resolves Geocodes and so on. This syncs data from a number of different data sources. As you are using Netlify here, which is AWS Lambda under the hood some of it may be useful.

Thanks @conatus! This looks really great. I'll take a look through and see what I can find, but I'm sure there is some useful things here. Will report back if I find anything.

I have two projects, helpyourhighstreet.org and musicvenuelock.in that utilise NodeJS to simplify the JOSN output from Google Sheets & serve two static sites that then use Google Maps with the corresponding data. Both are using a pre-purchased template that uses jQuery but as the CTO on both projects, I'm bringing my tools to the playground, so to speak. However, I thankyou for pointing this out and I'll review it shortly. 💜
