Track your angling success on-stream with offline fisheries maps and automatically correlate GPS information with weather, hydrology, hatch activity, and other custom data that you collect without interrupting your cast.
Shoot a video of your buddy catching a fish deep in the backwoods and we can have it posted to your fly fishing journal before you get home. Keep it a secret forever, show it to that buddy of yours, or share it with the world. It is up to you.
There is a lot of mythology in the sport of fly fishing, and much of it is accepted as sanctified wisdom, but there is precious little empirical data available We are building a data collection and reporting service for fly fishers who want facts, not fables. Take control of your fly fishing, and catch more fish!
Automatically log geospatial information while fishing. When you land a fish, take a picture and it will be tagged with your geolocation so you can track what really works on the water. Plan your fishing trip using informative mobile maps and plot your activities on the map as you fish. You will then be able to review and analyze all of your journal's information to help you catch more fish.
You can keep your favorite spots private to protect sensitive fisheries, you can share some reports with your friends, and you can post public data if you like. Your privacy is important, and the conservation of our most pristine waters is perhaps more so. We don't, and never will share your posts or personal information with any third party without your explicit permission, we don't roll like that.
We want to help the aspiring fly angler who doesn't know a coachman from a humpy to pick the right fly, and the jaded veteran trout bum to dig even deeper with flexible reporting tools to find new answers to old questions. Maybe our public data API service will benefit science someday. Did I mention it's free? The data API is free for everyone, the mobile apps will cost an undetermined pittance to keep us from living in a van down by the river. Come to think of it, that doesn't sound too bad.
I'm assuming you have a github account.
Given that, it is safe to assume you know more or less how to configure your local development environment and have php
v5.4 or greater installed, and the mcrypt extension. If you're on a Mac, use Homebrew,
it makes this stuff easy! If not; Step 0: Go buy a Mac
Perhaps you've even installed Composer:
-
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer -
make sure you have
/usr/local/binadded to $PATH so you can just typecomposerin terminal and get some output. -
I strongly recommend using Laravel Homestead for your local environment.
-
install NodeJS.
-
clone/fork this repository
-
cd hatches-api -
mv .env.example .env -
composer install -
php artisan key:generate -
chmod -R 666 storage -
php artisan flyfish- because, easter egg. -
npm install -g n -
n stable -
npm install -
touch storage/database.sqlite -
php artisan migrate --seed -
php artisan vendor:publish -
gulp
Assuming you followed the instructions for configuring Homestead...
homestead ssh- assuming default homestead mapping:
cd ~/Code/hatches-apior corresponding directory to your mapping. php artisan migrate --seedAssuming defaulthomestead.apphas been added to HOSTS and configured in Homestead.yml, then you can just visithttp://homestead.appin your local machine's browser.- check
homestead.app/docsfor API documentation, thanks! - Cheers, suckas!
