My first app: wat2do, a daily map of events in SF
- karlmageddon 13y agoI'm a student at General Assembly and this is 1/2 of my first project. The other half is an API I built that scrapes http://sf.funcheap.com http://sf.funcheap.com (one of my favorite sites ever) once a day for events and gives me a JSON to use when I call it. Feedback/suggestions/bug reports are totally welcome.
- johnbroccoli 13y agoThis is fantastic, nice work! Are you planning on adding any ability for people to add their own events directly to the map?
- karlmageddon 13y agoThank you so much! That's definitely in the pipeline somewhere but I'm trying to add more curated events via other API's + Facebook. The last time I thought about how I'd handle user submissions I ended up staring at a wall for half an hour trying to think of how to eventually get users to share events which led to more possible features like a live feed and, and...
- johnbroccoli 13y agoAwesome. For what it's worth, I also look at this: http://squidlist.com/ http://squidlist.com/ from time to time for events around the bay area.
- karlmageddon 13y agoNow that is actually in the immediate pipeline :) Expect to see squidlist events appear on the map soon!
- bridgpal 13y agoNeat. SF Fun cheap needs something like this
- johnwh 13y agoThanks, I was able to find the SF Jewish Film Festival through this. I love the interface!
- karlmageddon 13y agoThank you! Have fun at the filmfest :)
- sayemm 13y agoNice mashup! I did something similar a while back using Google Maps for finding stuff to do in San Diego: http://sdhangouts.com http://sdhangouts.com
- karlmageddon 13y agoThanks! This is awesome! I'm thinking of adding neighborhood functionality in a future iteration.
- elofjohnson 13y agoThis is great, just book marked.
