"I spent 6 months making a map that lets you report and alert your community about field research tasks near you"


#PokemonGO: For the past 6 months, I've been working on a web app that lets you report field research tasks in your vicinity on a map. When you report a task, your community is alerted through a notification of what the task rewards, along with turn-based directions to get there.Quick preview of what it looks like.I've noticed that many communities have alerting systems in place for raids, but very few have anything for field research, so here's my attempt at doing something about that.Each community has to set up their own copy of this on a web host/server somewhere. (You could ask your community admin about this!) Installation is easy; download and extract the latest version from here on any web host that supports HTTPS (SSL/TLS), go to the website in a browser and follow the instructions. (You'll need a web hosting subscription somewhere, of course, or your own server or VPS if you're familiar with setting up those.)The project is open source and well documented.Things you can do:Alerting to Discord or Telegram chatsIn Discord: Separate channels for each type of research rewards (a channel dedicated to Spinda, anyone?)Crowd-sourced submission of new Pokéstops to the mapTurn-based directions to the Pokéstop in questionI hope this can be useful for all of the communities out there :-)Ask below if you have any questions or feedback about this, and I'll do my best to answer you. via /r/pokemongo http://bit.ly/2R5a5yZ
