Show HN: Google Places x Instagram
- jasonlingx 7y agoI built this thinking combining Google Places and Instagram would be an interesting way of discovering cool places, but now I'm not sure if its any better than what was already there... Anyway, this was also an exercise for me to try building something "dynamic" as a minimal and quick static site that could be hosted for free...
- jameoblameo 7y agoCan I ask how you built this? How do you determine the places nearby / correlate them in instagram?
- jasonlingx 7y agoJust using the various APIs
- ljsocal 7y agoIt’s cool, keep working on it!
- jasonlingx 7y agothanks!... but I'm not sure if the idea is compelling enough to keep working on...
- solumos 7y agoVery cool - we built something similar back in 2017 based on IG/Foursquare and tried to make a company out of it. Didn't end up taking off, but learned a lot in the process! App's dead, but the landing page is still up: https://sherpa.guide/ https://sherpa.guide/
- jaymcnuggets 7y agoWould you mind sharing some of the reasons why it didn't end up taking off?
- Gys 7y agoDoes ‘sg’ in the domain stand for Singapore ?
- jasonlingx 7y agoIt used to, but tbh for now I'm just using a random domain I have...:}
- sreekotay 7y agoReally fun :) I'd love to see what this looked like for other venue types? Say a restaurant or the like?
- zaesar 7y agoLove it!
