To start the server in development mode, run

npm run dev

Starting the client app

npm run build

Then you can serve the app from the generated dist folder.

To launch the client app in development mode, run

✨ Future improvements

Leaving a room

As a user I want to be able to leave a room without necessarily creating a new one.

Suggesting rooms close to you

As a user I want to get suggestions on rooms that are close to me and maybe join one of them.

Curating rooms

As a user it is easy to create a room by accident. Clicking on the map should bring up a dialogue for confirmation.

As a user it would be useful to create rooms with a name, rather than generating the name on an index basis.

As a user it would be useful to see the coordinates of the room (or even the country that the room is situated in). This way it would be easyer to relate.
