This is a take-home coding challenge used to help evaluate candidates interested in joining the team at Generation. The goal is for candidates to complete the coding challenge before the in-person interview so that we can discuss the solution together. In cases where this is not possible, we may discuss the solution together over a followup phone call.
We expect that the exercise will take anywhere from 5-7 days to complete depending on your familiarity with React and with the GoogleMaps API.
We understand that this is a significant amount of time so we really appreciate the effort you put into it.
Any way you want - email us a link to your personal repo, a link with the application running on a server, etc. Please include a couple screenshots of the app.
Feel free to submit a solution that meets the requirements, but without using React. React is an important part of our stack and you'll be using it every day so it's important that you're excited to learn it! If you don't know React and you're able to learn the basics in order to complete the exercise, we'll be impressed :)

- Correctness: does the application do what was asked (e.g., all the user stories are complete)? If there is anything missing, does the README explain why it is missing?
- Code quality: is the code simple, easy to understand, and maintainable? Are there any code smells or other red flags? Is the coding style consistent with the language's guidelines? Is it consistent throughout the codebase?
- UX: Is the web interface understandable and pleasing to use? Is it responsive to various screen sizes, and fast to load?
