Meetly - Central Meeting Point Finder

Project Overview

Meetly is a practical web application designed to simplify meeting arrangements by finding the central train station between two specified addresses. It's ideal for users needing to find a mutually convenient public transport location.

Technical Overview

This project integrates frontend technologies with external APIs to provide a location-based service. Built using Next.js for server-side rendering benefits and React for the UI, it leverages the Google Maps API for geocoding addresses, calculating midpoints, and finding nearby train stations.

Architecture & Stack

• Framework: Next.js (React)
• Language: TypeScript
• API Integration: Google Maps API (Geocoding, Places)
• HTTP Client: Axios
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• Deployment: Vercel

Core Functionality

• Input fields for two addresses.
• Midpoint calculation between the two geocoded addresses.
• Finding the nearest train station to the calculated midpoint using Google Places API.
