A map filled with SUSTech alumni who are willing to help current SUSTech students in their application procedure. Hosted at GitHub, which allows for everyone to add their map entries. ♥ Join us!

👉 https://sustech-application.github.io/SUSTech-Alumni-Map/

The screenshot above shows what user entries look like. You’ll even get your own URL for your entry, which is awesome! Look, this is a link to SUSTech.

You can add your marker to the map and manage your data by yourself. Learn about 3 ways how to manage your entry! 🚀

The map is for any SUSTech student or staff: undergraduates, graduates et al. It’s about visualizing the distribution of SUSTech alumni. If you are one of SUSTech, the map is for you!

No big deal: GitHub allows to generate static websites out of repositories. They make use of Jekyll, a ruby based generator. Jekyll comes with Liquid templates, which helped us to inject all our map entries within a JSON at the bottom of the HTML. JavaScript grabs the data and starts a nice Leaflet map with beautiful tiles provided by CARTO.
—Well, that’s it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We’d recommend you to download the repo as zip file instead and make it run on your local machine first (see SETUP.md for instructions).
