Building the NYC Public Space App with Flutter and Mapbox
summary
A mobile app built with Flutter that consolidates disparate public space datasets into a single map, served from Mapbox Tiling Service and backed by Firebase, contains about 1,800 sites and is live on the iOS and Android stores. Custom search merges Mapbox Searchbox API results with a local copy, photo uploads sit in an image moderation queue, edits are user-submitted and approved via a simple web review UI, and tile updates are triggered manually.
