seattleio / boundaries Goto Github PK

We need a sidebar menu that links to each boundary on the results page. A table of contents.

This could be split into smaller issues, but it seems worth designing the search box UX as a whole, including things like

• typeahead component for quicker feedback
• limit searches to Seattle (so that "15th ave" takes you to the one in Seattle rather than the one apparently at "latitude/longitude: -37.710303, 176.164108")

sometimes it's not even clear what a boundary is / what it is for / why the user might care. Brief descriptions will help with that.

Initial text to include:

<h1>About boundaries.seattle.io</h1>
<p>Wondering if a point is inside a city park? Know your latitude and longitude but not sure which city council district you're in?</p>

<p>Want to know all the Seattle-related boundaries that a point is inside? boundaries.seattle.io can help with that.</p>

<h2>Data</h2>

<p>This project uses <a href="https://github.com/openseattle/seattle-boundaries">seattle-boundaries</a>, a collection of geojson boundaries for the city of Seattle.</p>

<h2>API</h2>

<p>This website has a corresponding API service that you can use in your Seattle-focused projects: <a href="https://boundaries-api.seattle.io/">https://boundaries-api.seattle.io/</a></p>

<p>The repository for the API server is here: <a href="https://github.com/seattleio/boundaries-api">https://github.com/seattleio/boundaries-api</a></p>

<p>You can Send a request like this:</p>

<pre><code>https://boundaries-api.seattle.io/boundaries?long=-122.345002&amp;lat=47.667044
</code></pre>

related to #5, it would be nice to have some developer docs for each boundary that goes more into depth on potential use cases.

Each matching boundary probably has related links that should be shown. Like the city website for a matching park, for example.

It would be useful to show a point of interest in some boundaries. Cop shop in the precincts, location of school in school districts, etc.

I fully realize this is geared specifically towards Seattlites who probably know addresses they can try out. But for someone from out of the area, it might be helpful to add an example address or two to the search modal.

Are there multiple matches for some datasets? Right now it looks like we only show the last match.
