Getting Started Mapping

I tend to struggle a bit with scoping for projects. Before I even get the MVP, I’m already thinking about cool features far into the future: mountain specific weather forecasting, photo bounties, multi-day route planning, recommendation features, review pipelines, etc. Then the MVP never gets built.

So what should be in the first version?

  1. Trail Name, Elevation, and Distance
  2. Short Summary (manually written)
  3. Driven off GeoJSON (eventually moves to a database)

The initial focus should be on getting just a couple pages to generate. Set up the pipeline and get it rendering in a static site.
