Future Plan

I think I missed something. San Francisco's food truck open dataset has alreay provided an API for data search. I don't need to develop the backend API. Importing the cvs into H2 to provide a backend API took me a lot of time, which didn't leave me with much time to implement more frontend functionalities.

If there is a V2, I maybe make below changes

• remove H2 and java backend service, use open dataset API directly
• provide more search conditions in the front page, like states, address, status etc.
• add a new google map page to display truck location

If there is a V3

• Develop a mobile app
• Users can search by phone directly
• Every truck has a score which depends on users' comments.
• The app will give suggestions to users for food
• Trucks can advertise on the app
