Animaps
App
Ongoing / First release: 27 Sep 2021
Animaps is an application that shows a map with markers for each animal hospital in Denmark. I developed this application for my mother who is a veterinarian nurse and a part of the veterinarian union, and who therefore frequently visits animal hospitals in Denmark to visit other veterinarian nurses. For this purpose she needed a way to keep track of which animal hospitals she had visited, and so I developed this application for her, where she would be able to color each marker on the map in different colours and track her visits. The application was primarily developed for iOS and it was released on TestFlight, however it has never been published to the App Store, considering that the only user of the application is my mother.
Process
In order to get a list of all animal hospitals in Denmark, I had to use a web scraper to scrape Google Maps for animal hospitals and clinics. When the web scraper had finished I could then export the list as a JSON file and import this into the application which I developed using Flutter.
Design
When the map is zoomed out the markers are grouped together and get represented by a blue circle with a white number in the middle. The white number indicates how many animal hospitals are in the area of the blue circle. Clicking on the blue circle will zoom in to that area on the map, and the markers are released from the group so that they get placed on the adresses for their respective animal hospital. Clicking on a marker brings up a floating dialog, where it’s possible to change the color of the marker as well as to enter an information screen with basic information about the animal hospital as well as an area where the user may write notes.
