Inspiration
Everyone in the group knows the experience of having a bad landlord during a study term, and mental health can sometimes take a toll from the negligence of one. RateMyLandlord is a streamlined way for past tenants to share experiences with landlords and their respective properties
What it does
The user has an option to either search for a landlord’s name that exists or a property. If they enter an address, a marker is added on to the location and they can see if there already is a landlord. If not they can add a new landlord and their review. Alternatively, the user can search for a landlord's name and all their properties and reviews is displayed in a chart.
How we built it
The data for landlords and address was stored using MongoDB, the backend was made with Node.js and the frontend was made using Javascript, Bootstrap, EJS, HTML. Google Maps API was used to display each location on the map.
Challenges we ran into
Google Maps API implementation, NodeJS, EJS and MongoDB usage
Accomplishments that I'm proud of

What we learned
Javscript, Front-end and Back-end development, MongoDB, Google Maps API
What's next for RateMyLandlord
