Bridge App Development

Seattle Drawbridge Tracker App (Development Version)

I’m building a real-time drawbridge tracker for Seattle, with live status updates and usage insights. The prototype is powered by a Flask/HTML frontend and Python for the backend, hosted on PythonAnywhere. This development UI is intentionally minimal and later versions will be rewritten natively in Kotlin and Swift. You can view this demo in a new tab here.

Bridge App Hosting and MySQL Update

Going over some updates on the app. I'm preparing the backend and working on additional features. With data being collected 24/7 I will soon be able to provide useful statistics as well as a bridge forecast algorithm.

First Prototype

This is a basic demo video of the prototype version of my app. I wanted to see if my idea would be possible so I fired up VS Code and threw down some python.
