# FriendsMap
|
|
|
|
|
FriendsMap is an open source project to let you share your location with your friends.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's a "low tech" app in the sense that it doesn't use your phone or anything to retrieve your live location.
|
|
|
|
|
Instead, you can add the GPS coordinates you want to share directly in the app.
|
|
|
|
|
You can also add start and end dates, in order to indicate when you plan to get there or leave.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Tech
|
|
|
|
|
FriendsMap uses [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) for the backend and the frontend rendering. No API or anything for the moment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It also uses [Leaflet](https://leafletjs.com/) to display the map. The base map uses OpenStreetMap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Privacy
|
|
|
|
|
FriendsMap is built with privacy in mind :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- You're free to set the GPS coordinates to wherever you want,
|
|
|
|
|
in order not to disclose your real location in case the database were to be stolen.
|
|
|
|
|
- Your location is stored in the database but you choose who you send it to
|
|
|
|
|
- No Google Maps
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is still work to do though :
|
|
|
|
|
- Currently, the administrator can see everyone's location.
|
|
|
|
|
This is not a desirable thing but I have no idea how to improve this.
|
|
|
|
|
If you do, please let me know or propose a PR !
