Coffee Grabber

So, you want a coffee, and cafes are usually quite expensive. What's the other best option for you? Of course, coffee vending machines! And this very straightforward application will let you find a lot of coffee machines everywhere in the world.

Under the hook

The application is a very simple Python server with a JavaScript frontend using Leaflet. The backend uses OSMPythonTools to run an overpass query to find coffee vending machines in a 2.5 km radius starting from a marker placed down by the user. The service, at the moment, does not implement a search box.

Run Locally (Development version!)

The service can be run locally with very few and easy steps:

1. Clone this repo and cd into it
2. Run source backend/venv/bin/activate if you're on macOS/Linux or backend\venv\Scripts\activate if you're on Windows to activate the virtual environment
3. Simply run python backend/src/coffeeGrabber/main.py on macOS/Linux or python backend\src\coffeeGrabber\main.py on Windows.
4. Open your browser and go to 127.0.0.1:5000. Enjoy!
5. Remember to deactivate your virtual environment at the end with deactivate.
