Show HN:What does your name look like?
- nyellin 15y agoHow does this work?
- Jeremy007 15y agoBing image search API: http://www.bing.com/developers/s/APIBasics.html http://www.bing.com/developers/s/APIBasics.html
- LogicLrd 15y agoHaha..good work Jeremy. It is in fact using Bing as sadly enough Google has retired their image search api: https://developers.google.com/image-search/ https://developers.google.com/image-search/
- ktsmith 15y agoGo to bings image search, put in a name, on the left side select people then select 'head and shoulders'. You'll get the same results without the names quite so prominently placed. If you inspect this page you'll notice all the images come from bing, this is wrapping their search results via the api.
- playhard 15y agoI don't get it! Google image search does this!
- jimminy 15y agoShould be marked NSFW, James returned several images with tits.
- pinchyfingers 15y agoIn the results for 'James', I find 'James King' to be less offensive than 'James Carpinello'.
- sp332 15y agoIt's just a Bing image search, e.g. http://www.bing.com/images/search?pq=face%2520of%2520stanford%2520tree&sc=1-21&sp=-1&sk=&qpvt=stanford+tree&q=stanford+tree&qft=+filterui:face-portrait&FORM=R5IR27 http://www.bing.com/images/search?pq=face%2520of%2520stanfor... There's a button on the side to toggle "face search".
- jerfelix 15y agoVersion 2 should "average" the faces of the people with that name. See what the average "Helga" looks like, vs. the average "Brad".
- yuvadam 15y agoPretty naive implementation. This is no more than a wrapper around Bing image search. As far as I can tell, no further logic happens in the app. Not quite sure how useful this is. However, if you can create a facial mash-up by first names... Now that can be interesting.
- officemonkey 15y agoUnless you have a relatively rare name with a very popular frontrunner, such as "Cary" or "Dizzy."
- NeekGerd 15y agoYou should "turn off" a full-name when it already has a photo. Avoiding getting 20 photos of the same person if the name is not really used. It would give the "app" much more dimension. Little style with the typed search, the results given etc... would be cool too.
- pinchyfingers 15y agoThe app is predisposed towards images of attractive people.
- botolo 15y agoNice implementation of an image search engine. I would love to be able to share faces and maybe star them.
- badclient 15y agoHow is this different than me typing my name on facebook and seeing what folks look like? I'm sure I'm missing something..
- lilb 15y agoAKA celebs that you share a name with.
- curiousepic 15y agoI was hoping this would be a system that determines what kind of faces go with different kinds of names, like "Hm, he doesn't really look like a Steve."
- FrancescoRizzi 15y agoI think it will take a few years before I can use my first name and not be associated with Mr. Schettino's image..
