Introduction

Welcome to MoneyMile, a Lyft API ride estimates application. The project will provide users a map matrix representing possible distances they can travel given a dollar amount and ride type selection. Users will be able to view between Lyft, Lyft Plus, and Lyft Line ride types.

Features

• Algorithmic calculation for map matrix based on user dollar input and ride type selection
• Interactive map to update, modify, and calculate distance boundaries
• Lyft API integration for ride estimates and ride types
• Responsive UI/UX design
• Snap to land algorithm to ensure bounds are displayed within land constraints

Technologies

• Lyft API
• React.js
• Node.js
• Google Maps API
• Google Static Map API
• Google Geometry API
• Express Framework

How To Use

• Allow fetching of current user location
• Input dollar amount into calculation form
• Allow processing time to calculate matrix boundaries
• Use toolbar to toggle boundary matrices for different ride types

Future Directions

The current state of the application only allows a visual representation of possible distances given a dollar amount. There are various applications and API's available that can give our application more features including but not limited to the following:

• Closest restaurants within matrix proximity using Yelp API
• Making Lyft ride ride requests directly from the application
• Incorporate Uber API to compare ride estimates
• Allowing users to change standard deviations to change accuracy based on preference
