Abstract
Tickt is a web app focused on saving and sharing users’ travel recommendations. It is targeted towards students who are studying abroad to track their favorite locations in order to save and share their recommendations of places they visited. Tickt is different from many other resources that provide online reviews because Tickt’s reviews are more tailored towards friends and family, rather than complete strangers. It also only supports positive reviews and places that are must-sees. Tickt will be a useful resource when planning a trip because users will be able to browse places their friends have visited before and that were recommended to them. Tickt allows users to upload their written travel recommendations along with a photo. When uploading, users will also pick a city in which the recommendation belongs, as well as a category it belongs to, such as restaurant, bar, attraction, etc. Users will be able to sort their own posts as well as the posts from people they follow, saving ideas they like for later. Tickt will be created using Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It will also utilize a Cloud9 SQL Database. Tickt will make recording memories and recommendations easy and fun.
