Compact is a gear list planner built for thru-hikers and backpackers. Use Compact to calculate your pack's final weight and track details about individual items. The front end was built using React and Redux with a Rails API backend. The backend repo can be found here.
The first iteration of this project was submitted as my final project for the Flatiron School's online web dev program.
To learn more about the project, please read my post on Medium.
