"Where to see a Site, and some even hidden." Built for the HackTheMountain, SiteSee is a location-aware photo-sharing platform designed with gamified progression, adaptive spatial privacy thresholds, and real-time proximity-based content unlocking.

Traditional photo-sharing apps suffer from content oversaturation, detached engagement, and rigid privacy choices. Users are rarely encouraged to physically explore environments, and location settings are binary: entirely public or entirely private.

SiteSee re-engineers location sharing into an exploratory game:

• Proximity-Locked Content ("Hidden Sites"): Content creators can hide photos in the physical world. Other users can only view the high-resolution photo and details when their real-time device coordinates are within 20 meters of the spot.
• Exploration Gamification: Every shared site earns experience points (XP). As users travel and post, they level up, turning urban exploration into an adventure.
• Fluid Privacy Tiers: Posts adapt natively to user context—supporting fully Public, proximity-bound Hidden, and secure Private vaults.

• Interactive Exploration Radar Map: Powered by OpenStreetMap and custom map layers, rendering custom, color-coded, real-time spatial indicators for different visibility styles.
• Proximity Filter Engine: Background evaluation architecture that loops every 3 seconds to measure geodesic distance ($\le 20\text{m}$) using high-accuracy device GPS tracking.
• Dynamic Navigation Interface: Smooth tab navigation with a custom frosted glass navigation bar that automatically intercepts layout callbacks (e.g., clicking a recent item on the dashboard instantly pans the map layer and pulls up the location context window).
• Native Device Bridges: Direct integration with native storage pipelines and hardware camera modules for lightning-fast image serialization and base64 parsing.
• XP & Levelling Engine: Custom live progress calculation tracking that tells the user exactly how much real-world discovery remains to reach the next tier.

SiteSee uses a clean, decoupling layout pattern separating the presentation screens from underlying domain services:

• Frontend Framework: Flutter (Dart)
• Map & Spatial System: Flutter Map & Geolocator (OpenStreetMap data)
• Backend Services: Firebase Core (Identity & Cloud synchronization infrastructure)
• Local Staging: Custom Async Dart Services (Memory & Local Storage persistence)

• Valid GPS permissions enabled on target runtime environment

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/site-see.git
cd site-see

2. Install dependecies:

flutter pub get

3. Configure Firebase (Optional for Local Mode): Ensure your local environment configuration is linked via the FlutterFire CLI, or supply an initialized google-services.json / GoogleService-Info.plist.
4. Run the Application:

flutter run

To experience the core proximity logic during static testing, we recommend utilizing an emulator capable of GPS Mocking/Telemetry Injection:

1. The Dashboard: Start on the Accueil tab to check out your current level status and view the most recent global publications.
2. Snap a Site: Move to the Photo tab. Capture or pick a picture, input a description, set visibility to Hidden, and tap publish. Your precise coordinates are automatically packaged with the image data.
3. The Radar View: Head over to the Carte tab. Your newly published site will appear on the map.
4. Test Proximity Locking: * Mock your device location to a distance greater than 20 meters away from your picture's coordinates. The point remains locked or conditionally hidden.

• Update your mocked GPS location back to within 20 meters of the pin. Within 3 seconds, the tracking engine triggers an update, making the marker fully interactive and allowing you to pop open the bottom context card.

5. Quick Jump Validation: Tap any item in the Publications récentes section on the home page—the app will programmatically switch tabs, animate the camera view over the target point, and automatically present the photo details panel.
