I built 'h34t' - shows a realtime heatmap of where people are in the city (search iTunes Store for it).
Snapchat just paid $300 million for the same functionality. They could've bought it from me for a lot less ;)
- skdjksjdksjdk 9y agoHow do you do it?
- sghiassy 9y agoNot sure what you mean by the question? I built the full stack by hand. The iOS is Obj-C and the backend is NodeJS/MySQL. Basically, the MySQL DB has checkin data (provided by users or from social media networks) pivoted on metadata (male, female, age) and then passed to a custom visualization algorithm on the mobile device. Happy to answer any other questions.
- gesman 9y agoYour app shows that nothing happening neither in San Jose nor in SF? iPhone 7+. Maybe that forced Snapchat to spend more money? :)
- sghiassy 9y agoThe filter is set to show activity in the last month only - slide the filter to all and you'll see activity. The app has gone a bit into hibernation lately, so the activity has waned. Thx for checking it out though!
