Crowd Depth

Collect and share depth data from your marine vessel with crowd-sourced bathymetry programs.

• API – a minimal web service for receiving bathymetry reports, storing them, and forwarding them NOAA.

Contributing

• Run tests: npm test
• Build all packages: npm run build
• Run the API locally (defaults to http://localhost:3001): npm start
