A web application designed to bring together the Painted Rocks community. Also known as Kindness Rocks, painted rocks are a global activity aimed to spread positivity and kindness to others. The Stone Chasers application allows users to look up rocks they've found using a uniquely generated serial code, create a profile to submit their own creations, and find inspiration and resources to get started. We utilized the MVC design pattern featuring a composite ViewModel, the Google Maps API to log previous locations of found rocks and add new ones, and the geoloaction API to allow users to easily grab their latitude and longitude. We used Razor pages and user sessions to give users the option to edit rocks they created. We also implemented the ability for users to upload image files from their machine which are stored locally to our database.
