Technologies Used

This project leverages several modern technologies to provide a seamless and dynamic user experience:

• Svelte 5: Core framework used to build the application, ensuring fast and reactive interfaces;
• Runes: Extends Svelte with additional capabilities for state and logic management;
• ShadCN: Provides pre-built, customizable UI components for a polished user interface;
• AnyOrigin: To bypass CORS errors in the browser because the site has no backend (to save costs);
• MapLibre and MapTiler: Used for rendering interactive maps and managing map data; and
• Tailwind CSS: Enables rapid and consistent styling with a utility-first CSS framework.

Future Enhancements

Looking ahead, I can introduce the following features to further enhance the functionality of the application:

• Google Maps API Integration: Utilize the Google Maps API to dynamically fetch and display time and location-specific data, ensuring up-to-date and accurate information; and
• User Notifications: Allow users to select specific locations and receive notifications about their opening or closing times, enhancing the utility of the platform.
