revised's Introduction

reVISed

The Vision

  • You're reading Longitude, and want to see John Harrison's clocks in all their glory as you read.
  • You're reading Band of Brothers, and you don't know where Carentan or Bastogne are.

The aim of this project is to create appropriate secondary sources that are appropriate to accompany your read. Time will tell what direction this project takes, but some initial ideas are:

  • Maps of key locations (and their relation to other locations)
  • Portraits/photos of key characters
  • Definitions/etymology of interesting words
  • Links to references/further reading

The Current Picture

  • Barely started - no real functionality, but I've had a good play with the frameworks
  • Written with EmberJS
  • Served up by Heroku: here
  • Back-end API provided by a Go webserver revised-server - aim is to back this with Google cloud platform for storage
