# blinkenshell-map

A map to see where your fellow blinkenshellers are!

The current URL is 

## How does it work?

Every blinkenshell user that has a "coordinates" file in their public_html will automatically be added to the map.

A small python script parses these from time to time (currently once per day) and converts them into GeoJSON markers.

These GeoJSON objects are then added as a Leaflet layer to an OpenStreetMap background with tiles from Mapbox.

## Structure of the coordinates file

In principle, just adding the Lat/Lon coordinates is sufficient but there are additional options.

The file will be correctly parsed if it is structured as follows:

```

lat_coordinate,lon_coordinate

(optional popup text)

(optional color as #hex)

```

## Built With

* [Leaflet](https://leafletjs.com/) - The library to add the Marker layer

* [OpenStreetMap](https://openstreetmap.org) - Base data for the map

* [Mapbox](https://www.mapbox.com/) - Map tile provider
