Hello world

This is a blog of http://i-was-here.appspot.com/ web application. With this application you can easily create a map of places you visited and maintain chronological list of your trips that are linked to the map. One can also download corresponding KML files to view with Google Earth or upload them into your personal Google Maps.

The app was created mainly to try and test capabilities of google app engine platform. And also I thought that this web service would be usefull to myself.

The application itself uses various technologies:

  • Appengine Users and Datastore API
  • Appengine helper for Django
  • Django framework
  • Google Maps API
  • Javascript and AJAX
  • Python and its various libraries
  • HTML and CSS

It was fun to create it. Enjoy.

p.s.: If there are any news about the project they will be published in this blog
