It Happened Here is a location-based interactive app for users to learn and write about local history. I came up with this project idea as I had always been amazed by the beauty of old buildings in San Francisco, and wondered about the stories behind them.

As a map enthusiast, I definitely learned to work with maps from this project: detecting users' current location, geocoding (turning addresses into latitude and longitude) and reverse geocoding (getting name of places from its coordinates), populating data onto a map and visualizing them as pins, as well as customizing the visual design of a map.

Technologies used: Ruby on Rails, along with AJAX, Google Maps, jQuery and PostgreSQL.
