YoLocation

YoLocation is a sample project for using location data with Yo.

High level overview:

• Written in Go (golang.org)
• Uses Revel web framework (revel.github.com)
• Autobuild docker container (mtsgrd/yolocation)

Try it out!

Send a Yo to STARBUCKSMAP to get a yoback link to the nearest Starbucks that's currently open.

To run your own instance, consider using a container-optimized Google Compute Engine image: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/containers/container_vms.
