Overview of My Submission
HuMaps tries to give you a nice experience when looking for people who have common interests as yours.
You can use the search bar to type things like Doctor, Software engineers, Optometrist, etc. You can type specific names as well. Then you get, on the sidebar a list of people who match what you typed. And the same list gets visualized on the maps using exact coordinates.

[HuMaps, Discover people through maps]
HuMaps lets you discover people in a little different way; using maps.
Search for developers
Click on one from the map or the sidebar
How it works
You search for someone (or more) using their name or occupation. Then you instantly get results on a list and on maps using those peoples' coordinates.
Made with NextJS for both Frontend and the Backend (next-api)
How the data is stored:
I used Redis as the main database, thanks to RedisJSON. I have a single Schema which has all the needed fields for each user.
How the data is accessed:
I used RedisSearch to perform smart assisted lookups. I try to match the search input with users bios (descriptions). Then get a list of those users and render it.
