Challenges we ran into

We faced many challenges integrating everything and working in different time zones. We also had to setup Twilio, Chat-bots, a website front-end, a website back-end with Linode, and in particular, we had to set up maps & working with coil for the first time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Mario has always been a favorite game for many people when they were children and now we are making something that fulfills a dream as well as keeping our users safe on the roads with our trvavel assistant

What we learned

It was exciting to learn more about coil this week and how they reward the content creators, publishers and platforms that create the content that we love. The best part is that we don't have to rely on advertising or site-by-site subscriptions.

In addition, we learned how to use Google Maps Console and the GPS navigation system, which we used in our map
