Snapper backend server

[tremmert81]

Hello,
First off, great project. Very excited to build one and test it out.

I see all the files for the hardware build, but don't see anything for the backend (server) posted. Is the backend software opensource as well? My worry would be that if we deploy the Snapper GPS units, and something happens to this project, we won't be able to process the recorded data.

Thougts?

Hi & thank you for your interest in SnapperGPS ;)
I believe you can find everything SnapperGPS in the SnapperGPS organization on GitHub. There should be a repository snappergps-backend with the part of the processing back-end that is written in Python and a repository snappergps-app with the part of the back-end that is written in JS. That should be anything that is needed for the SnapperGPS system as a whole. If you feel like there is anything missing, please give us a shout. That would not be intentional.
In addition to the source code, we also published our algorithms open-access.
If you happen to go forward with a personal resplication, feel free to let us know how it goes. I am not aware of any 3rd party builds or deploys yet and this would be a good test to see how robust our documentation is.

Added mention of the open-source snappergps-app repository to the readme in the snappergps-pcb repository f44f0a9

This is wonderful. I do appreciate the information and thorough documentation. I have read through the published algorithms and am very optimistic on the performance of the tracker and location calculations. We will proceed and build a few units for testing.
Cheers!
