SpotIt is a web app built in Elixir and the Phoenix Framework. Users can post a picture of anything they spot nearby, such as a yard sale or a food truck, and other users can see the picture and the post pop up in real time on a map. This app is an ongoing project to experiment with the Phoenix/Elixir on the backend and React (web) and React Native (mobile) on the frontend.
