Scala Space website

To add your Scala group to Scala Space, add an item to the collection in data/groups.json with the following five elements: group name, Meetup group ID or full URL, latitude and longitude of the place where you usually meet, and true if the group is a purely Scala group, or false if it's a more general FP group.

The easiest way to find these is to do a Google search for "coordinates of [place name]", and to reformat the response as real numbers, remembering to negate longitudes in the Western Hemisphere, and latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere.

For example, searching for "coordinates of Brighton" returns the response "50.8429° N, 0.1313° W". This should be translated to the following entry:

{
  name: "Brighton Scala Users Group",
  url: "http://example.com/",
  latitude: 50.8429, 
  longitude: -0.1313, 
  justScala: true
}

Try to keep the locations in alphabetical order of name.

Broken page

I'm assuming this is no longer maintained? I think with Scala 3, ZIO, and all the new activity, it might be worth it to "reactivate" this. If time is a constraint on the maintainers, I would be happy to help maintain the page (or help out with the Google API costs if that's an issue).

No background icon when a cluster is present

If you zoom out of the map you will notice that there are no icons identifying the clusters. This happens for all clusters. A number is present instead.

One consequence of this is that the user groups around Cologne, Germany are easy to miss.

Full-screen maps prevents scrolling

When scrolling with mousewheel, touchpad or similar, the map takes the focus and instead zooms (this appears to be the default behaviour with every browser I tried), which means you can't get to the text at the bottom without resorting to keyboard controls. We should probably add a significant margin (at least 20% screen space) around the map to allow for scrolling.

upgrade clustering library

We are currently using an outdated point clustering library. We should make this a managed dependency using sbt and scala.js and update it to a more current version.

Default focus to world

Currently when user land to scala.space, the focus of the map is given somewhere to Germany.

If we can show the whole world map it will be good.
Yes the markers may be hidden but it can show total markers in each continent .

Add TLS support

It looks like @propensive will have to do this.
This blocks #64

It looks pretty easy though.

Meetup not being shown

"Miami Scala Enthusiasts" is not being shown in the map

Google Maps is complaining

when I load the site (in either Safari or Chrome) I see:

How do you build this project?

It seems like this project has a little bit-rot. If I can figure out how to compile it and run locally I can try to clean it up a bit.

Any suggestions about getting around this compilation error? I am working from c2dfd49

I don't have much experience with scala.js so I might be missing something obvious.

Does not work with Safari

When clicking on a meetup, nothing happens and the console shows
[Error] TypeError: undefined is not a function (evaluating 's.startsWith('http')')

center map in user location

When open the map, it should be centered based on the user browser location. If I am in Miami, USA, the map should be centered here instead of London when it is opened the first time.

Aggregate upcoming meetups into a list

It would be great to be able to integrate with meetup.com and fetch upcoming events from each of the groups, and display them in a list.

Enable map zoom optoins

It will be easy for use to click + - to zoom in/out

in current version its hand to zoom the map
