Tech

UPlace uses BaaS FatFractal for backend services

UPlace uses Google Places API to retrieve place/location information

UPlace uses a number of open source projects:

• SVProgressHUD - A clean and lightweight progress HUD for iOS app
• DZNSegmentedControl - A drop-in replacement for UISegmentedControl used on user profile view
• RESideMenu - iOS 7/8 style side menu with parallax effect
• FTGooglePlacesAPI - iOS library for querying Google Places API using simple block-based interface
• XHImageViewer - A simple image viewer
• AFNetworking - A delightful iOS and OS X networking framework
• GOPlacesAutocomplete - Lightweight Objective-C wrappers around Google Places Autocomplete and Details APIs

Getting started

Clone the project.

Create A New API for your backend and define a baseurl in AppDelegate.m:

#define FatFractalBaseURL @"http://<YOUR APP DOMAIN>.fatfractal.com/<YOUR APP NAME>"

Obtain a Google Places API key and define in AppDelegate.m:

#define GoogleAPIKey @"YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"

That's it!
