Members add the places they rely on, rate them and leave reviews. It is built as two surfaces over one set of data: a polished, mobile-first web app, and a JSON REST API.\n\n**Live demo: [cafe-connect.vercel.app](https://cafe-connect.vercel.app)**\n\nBrowsing is open to everyone. To try the signed-in features, adding a café and leaving a review, sign in with `member@cafeconnect.app` / `Member@1234`. The demo data resets nightly.\n\n## Screenshots\n\n###\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"screenshots/hero-mobile.png\" alt=\"CafeConnect on mobile\" width=\"60%\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003csub\u003eCafeConnect on mobile: home, a listing, and amenities at a glance\u003c/sub\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n##\n###\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"screenshots/home.png\" alt=\"The CafeConnect landing page\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003csub\u003eThe landing page\u003c/sub\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n##\n###\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"screenshots/browse-city.png\" alt=\"Browse cafés by city\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003csub\u003eBrowse by city, with the directory's running totals\u003c/sub\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n##\n###\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg src=\"screenshots/browse.png\" alt=\"The café directory with search and filters\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003csub\u003eThe directory, with search, filters and sort\u003c/sub\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg src=\"screenshots/add-cafe.png\" alt=\"Contributing a café\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003csub\u003eContributing a café\u003c/sub\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg src=\"screenshots/cafe-detail.png\" alt=\"A café listing in full\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003csub\u003eA listing in full\u003c/sub\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd width=\"50%\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg src=\"screenshots/reviews.png\" alt=\"Ratings and reviews on a café\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003csub\u003eRatings and reviews on every café\u003c/sub\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\n###\n\n## What it offers\n\nBrowse and sort the directory, or search for cafés near you using your location. Open a café for its full profile, photos, facilities and member reviews. Sign in to add a café of your own and leave ratings and reviews. Administrators curate the directory and upload the photography.\n\n## Design\n\nThe interface uses a warm amber accent (`#ffc451`) over charcoal (`#222222`) and cream (`#faf9f7`) backgrounds. Headings are set in Raleway and body text in Poppins. The layout is responsive, built mobile-first and scaling up to desktop.\n\n## Approach\n\nThe app is server-rendered with Flask and Jinja, styled with Tailwind compiled through the Tailwind CLI, with no heavy single-page framework, so pages paint fast and a little vanilla JavaScript handles the map and location search. The web app and the API authenticate differently: the web app uses server-side sessions, while the API is stateless and uses signed JWT bearer tokens. In production it runs on PostgreSQL with object storage for images and a nightly data reset; locally it runs on SQLite with no external services required.\n\n## Stack\n\n| Layer | Technology |\n| --- | --- |\n| Language | Python |\n| Web framework | Flask, Jinja |\n| Data layer | SQLAlchemy |\n| Web auth | Flask-Login (server sessions) |\n| API auth | PyJWT (stateless bearer tokens) |\n| Validation | marshmallow (API), WTForms (web) |\n| Styling | Tailwind CSS, compiled via the Tailwind CLI |\n| Client | Vanilla JavaScript |\n| Database | PostgreSQL in production, SQLite in development |\n| Image storage | Supabase Storage |\n| Rate limiting | Flask-Limiter |\n| Hosting | Vercel |\n\n## API\n\nA full REST API sits alongside the web app, exposing the café data over JSON with token authentication, filtering, search and distance queries. See [API.md](API.md) for the endpoint reference, authentication, testing and integration examples.\n\n## Source code\n\nThis repository is a showcase of CafeConnect, a personal project. The application source is kept private and is not open source, but it can be shared for review on request.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fser-arthur%2Fcafe-connect-showcase","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fser-arthur%2Fcafe-connect-showcase","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fser-arthur%2Fcafe-connect-showcase/lists"}
