Show HN: Geoground, get a map image based on user's IP
- jarquesp 14y agoI recently started working on a small app that I wanted to look slightly personalized per user by showing a faded image of their city as a background. I couldn't find a service that did this for me, so I made a stupidly simple one. Simply use http://g.jarqu.es/IP http://g.jarqu.es/IP and it'll return an image of the city based on the IP address.
- calamarain 14y agoIt shows me a blue field. Since it's not possible to zoom out, I cannot see which lake or sea it is.
- jarquesp 14y agoBlue image means either IP didn't translate to city, or city didn't translate to a static mappable image.
