Description
Location-aware storytelling experience for the GoldenMountain holiday house. Anyone can open the story online, but most of its chapters, text and images stay locked until the reader is physically at the house: the browser's geolocation is checked against the property's coordinates, with a tolerance radius that absorbs the inaccuracy of GPS indoors and in rural areas. Visitors elsewhere get a short preview designed to make them want to visit.
The main challenge was making the lock reliable without frustrating real guests — handling weak or denied GPS, and making sure locked content is only delivered by the server once the location has been verified. Built alone in PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
