As my second project for Flatiron School Software Engineering, I was asked to make a web application using Sinatra and ActiveRecord. Kickflip is a tool for skateboarders to use to track and find local skateparks, show their friends when they get a new trick, and encourage return use with a "checkin" feature.
Kickflip also takes advantage of the geocoder gem, which extends a Class and returns latitude and longitude from street addresses. With the geocoder gem, a user can find a Park near a location without the instance containing the specific string in it's address.
