Create a micromobility comparison tool (bike vs scooter vs walk)
This project involves building a concise web-based tool that calculates and compares travel options for a given route, specifically focusing on walking, cycling (via bike-share if applicable), and e-scooters. The final product will be a functional web application accessible via a browser, displaying estimated time, distance, and potentially cost or caloric burn for each selected micromobility mode. This demonstrates proficiency in integrating external APIs for mapping and routing, and presenting complex data in an intuitive user interface.
This initiative is ideal for an individual who enjoys tackling practical problems with readily available data, thrives on visual feedback, and appreciates the immediate utility of their creations.
