About

The app is called "Background Paths" and is designed to help users track and visualize paths using a web interface. It allows users to create new paths by specifying a name, color, and a set of coordinates in JSON format. The app stores this data in a Redis database, enabling efficient retrieval and management of paths. To use the app, users can navigate to the main page where they will find two main sections: one for creating new paths and another for viewing saved paths. In the "Create New Path" section, users can fill out a form that includes fields for the path name, color selection, and coordinates. Upon submission, the app processes the input and saves the new path to the database. The "Saved Paths" section displays a list of all created paths, each represented with its name, color, and a visual representation of the path based on the provided coordinates. Users can also delete paths from this section. The app is built using TypeScript and React, leveraging the Next.js framework for server-side rendering and routing. It utilizes Upstash Redis for data storage, ensuring that paths are stored and retrieved efficiently. Key features of the app include: 1. User-friendly form for creating paths with validation for coordinates. 2. Dynamic visualization of paths using a canvas element, allowing users to see their paths represented graphically. 3. Ability to delete paths, with immediate updates to the displayed list. 4. Responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes. Overall, "Background Paths" provides a straightforward and interactive way for users to manage and visualize paths, making it a useful tool for various applications such as mapping, data visualization, or creative projects.
