🏍️ Gremlin Bell 🏍️

A progressive web app built with Rails, designed as a social network for motorcycle enthusiasts in Japan to create, share, and discover motorcycle routes.

This app was built to eliminate the hassle of visiting numerous social networking sites, no-longer active forums, and random 15 year old blog entries in order to find an interesting route to ride.
