Inspiration

The inspiration was from Wikipedia and Mapbox. We want to see it fusing and turn out with a beautiful website.

What it does

It shows all the wars that happened around the world in the 70s. We have around 63 wars and in each war, we have a description and which year it happened and where did it happen showing it in the Mapbox

How we built it

We built that using Mapbox API, React, JSON data and some Html and CSS.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into combining all the pages and rendering them. We also had to get all the coordinates in the JSON file of each war. It was time-taking. However, the skeleton of the JSON file was scrapped from the Wikipedia page.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we can successfully show the popup which took around 12hrs.

What we learned

Learned to use React MapBox GL API. It was an amazing experience by far. MLH hackathons are very intriguing for their themes.

What's next for Untitled

We are looking forward to bring information about the wars that happened in the past and adding some cool features to it.
