Overview

find-nearest-parcel is simple web app I built for InPost recruitment assignment.

App have two main functions:

• User can type their address to get list of nearest parcels
• Or provide their current localization (permission is necessery)

Application is using coordinates (latitude and longitude) to search for nearest parcel points. If user provides address, coordinates are fetched from OpenStreetMap API

I chose this kind of app because it's useful information that probably many users with access to that kind of api wants to know.

I deployed this app on Deno Deploy platform, so you can check project by clicking this link.

I decided to deploy because I'm aware that Deno is not as popular runtime as it should be.

Technologies

I decided to make this app in JavaScript with React because i feel comfortable while writing apps using this library in terms of experience and knowledge.

I'm also using my favorite frameworks/libraries:

• ChakraUI for nice and clean look
• Tanstack Query to handle asynchronous operations
• Hono for simple and fast handling backend server

How to run

Prerequisites

• Install Node
• Install Deno

Build & run

git clone https://github.com/KLR2002/find-nearest-parcel.git
cd .\find-nearest-parcel\
deno install
deno run dev

App should be running on localhost:5174

What I would do with more time

Add more functions, e.g filter by other features, integrated map, better interface and better entries description.

AI usage

I'm using Gemini, but i'm using AI mainly for research purposes as alternative to checking documentation rather than copy & pasting + i'm always veryfing what AI says.

Anything else?
