Restaurant Search Website

My submission for the 2020 Capital One Software Engineering Summit

Update - I was selected to attend the Summit!

About the project

This website is made with Vue.js as the project framework, Bootstrap for the front-end styling, Highcharts and Google Maps for displaying data, and the Yelp and Zomato APIs for gathering data.

About me

I'm an engineering student at the Universitiy of Virginia studying computer science. I enjoy casually making personal projects because I think they're a fun way to learn new skills — check out my other repositories for some of my favorite projects.

Possible extensions

  • Use a backend (maybe with Node.js) to allow more data processing and to utilize advanced API functionality
  • Implement Twitter API to see tweets about a location and restaurant
  • Use Yelp's menu data to display the restaurant menu
  • Add a word frequency chart to show popular words found in restaurant reviews
  • Try replacing Vue another web framework like Angular or React

Note: To run this website locally, edit the .env file and add the required API credentials.
