Excellent POC - Obamacare needs to pick this up and run with it, to provide the next level of detail, for all insurers.
Can you tell us about the technology under the hood? Ruby or Node (or whatever)? What APIs did you use? Programming-wise, what was easy and what turned out to be tricky?
- neilsharma 13y agoHey. The technology i used focused on speed of deployment. My DB and "backend" is all parse (I don't have a traditional backend). My hosting service is site44, which is simple dropbox hosting so i don't have to setup a server. The rest of it is just js/html/less files. I used bootstrap for the styling and jquery/google maps API for everything else. I did do some pre-processing on the data in python to geocode the locations (ie: change the street addresses to long/lat coordinates). I used geopy to do that, and pandas to manage the data. The total product took me three days to build and design
