Final Project

My Vision

I am an avid outdoorsman and bushcrafter 2 years ago in the middle of the pandemic I did the Colorado Trail. I am currently training for the PCT this summer, and usually go out for a week at a time with basically a pack and what I can carry.

This project will be an evolution of past projects to give me what I need when I'm on the trail. Step one will be the standard finding and listing from NPS. In this project however I have combined it with the national weather service so I can get the weather for any park. Then submiting my name, email, and number will give me both email and text for severe weather alerts. I have found this to be very much needed on remote trails. Sometimes you will get a signal but not enough for data but enough for a text message. Then sometimes you will get a wifi signal but no txt messaging ability.

Project Requirements

To meet the project requirements, please ensure the following:

1. Static Site Generator: Make sure that the pages in your project are built using a Static Site Generator. Next.js already supports static site generation, and current code utilizes the getStaticProps and getStaticPaths functions to pre-render pages at build time. Project meets this requirement.

2. Data-Driven Content: Your project should utilize data to drive the content. Currently fetching data from the National Park Service API and the Weather API, which fulfills this requirement.

3. Version Control with GitHub: Create a repository on GitHub and push your project to it. https://github.com/cscie114/csci-e-114-final-project-CrimsonCoder42/tree/main/final_app

4. CI/CD process that deploys to hosting: Amplify provides it's own hosting steps which I found once connected to a Git repo will block actions from redeploying.
