Show HN: Real Time Football Fan Map Using Meteor
- blrgeek 12y agoSo what's the point here? To find other fans of my favorite club so we can meet up?
- anandsatyan 12y agoThis is similar to the Represent.la project for startups, except for Football fans. You can deduce a lot of interesting things. Which team is popular in which city and country, who is the nearest fan to you, spotting friends nearby, favorite hangouts for each team's supporters. Can also be extended to fan club meetups, cheers during the match etc.
- blrgeek 12y agoSo I posted my location, but there's nothing beyond that I guess? If this is an MVP, what are you trying to find out from this experiment?
- imdsm 12y agoThis is a system without data, and data collection isn't going to work because they want you to sign up.
- sharathacharya 12y agoAgree, asking for a sign up is a strenuous process.But this looked interesting to me and i signed up . They have my location and team preference, Enough data for them to start with I guess.

- ing33k 12y agowaited for 2 mins to see whats the real time component here and still not able figure out.

- anandsatyan 12y agoa couple of more users signing up and you will see the magic happen. The positions of teams will keep switching, points increase and markers appear in real time.
- sathishvj 12y agoWhat technologies are you using on the backend for this? Nice look and feel for the UI btw. Should try Meteor for the front-end sometime.
- anandsatyan 12y agoMeteor, Node, MongoDB that's it. Yeah, you should give Meteor a shot.
- imdsm 12y agoSorry but as I said on twitter, if you're going to ask me to sign up to tag myself, then I'll keep my data to myself.
- anandsatyan 12y agoSorry to see you go imdsm, Would love to discuss sports and javascript with you.
- Vijayramkumar 12y agonice! Looks good!
- tagnu_ 12y agoInteresting coming soon page. Would have been great if the signup window had less fields to fill in.
- tulhan 12y agoName, Address, Email and Password. How is this different from any other site that ask for the same information?
- deleted 12y ago[deleted]
- tulhan 12y agoIt seems to be a "Coming soon; sign up for updates" kinda site atm. The monster thing says it right there in the app. "Boutline is in private beta. Tag your team to the map to reserve your username and get an early beta invite".

- kvprashant 12y agoCool UI. You guys should probably mention why I need to sign up. Apart from reserving a username :)
- anandsatyan 12y agoThanks kvprashant, we plan to build a lot of engagement modules around this. You should get an email from us sometime next week with updates.
- mfarid 12y agoVery very very cool. I waited for such a tool for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time
- anandsatyan 12y agoYou seem to be an ardent football fan. We should have a discussion soon about what you would like to see in a sports app thats missing now. Any leads?
- singtheday 12y agoawesome
