What

Simple and fast web app to display upcoming local high & low tides, using data from nearby NOAA tide stations.

Built with:

• Python
• Flask
• Mustache.js
• Backbone.js
• Google App Engine

Deployed at:

• https://tide-catcher.appspot.com.

How

• Flask backend serves initial template and REST/JSON API.
• Client-side rendering with Mustache.js
• Client-side routing with Backbone.js
• Backend transforms relevant tide info from https://www.worldtides.info/apidocs.
• Now using station and tides data from NOAA TIdes & Currents.

Soon

(Actually, probably never. See: https://github.com/just6979/tide-catcher-next):

• Cache nearby stations and tide data to minimize requests to worldtides.info
• Offline mode
