World Walking
World Walking is an app which allows users to track their steps against iconic routes such as Route 66‚ the Great Wall of China and the Scottish North Coast 500. The application works as a pedometer to track user progress‚ providing them with photos‚ facts and Streetview for the places they “travel through”.
The application leverages the Laravel ‘broadcast’ back-end functionality in conjunction with Laravel Echo front end functionality to easily push chat messages to web clients. This allows for gamification‚ with users earning badges and being served push notifications as they reach specific milestones.

The creator of Koel‚ Phan An‚ cited the scalability of Laravel as a key reason for his choice to use it for the backend‚ as in some instances the backend will need to be able to handle the processing of tens of thousands of individual files.
