If somebody deploys this, will they share the link?

  Made two yesterday, both related to the recent terrorist attack in Copenhagen. One to show all the flowers laid out for at synagogue: https://instakrystalgade.herokuapp.com https://instakrystalgade.herokuapp.com And another to show people at the memorial: https://cphmemorial.herokuapp.com https://cphmemorial.herokuapp.com Both worked out nicely and handled some steep traffic quite well!

The fact that the coordinates are hard coded seems odd, is there a reason for it?
- lil_tee 12y ago
  Mostly to keep the app simple and still deployable on the free Heroku plan. Sure, it could handle multiple locations, but then it would quickly outgrow the free tier

    Next up: a one-tap mobile app that deploys an instances of this based on current or specified coordinates.

Latitude and Longitude remind me of the tiny app I made using Google Maps API to find out what's on the exact opposite end of some place - it's called Other Side: http://lalwanivikas.github.io/other-side/ http://lalwanivikas.github.io/other-side/

  Thanks for this. I've always loved eyeballing the globe and figuring out what was at the opposite end of a hole dug directly down. Not sure why, but now it's even easier

    Thanks osxrand! I am glad you liked it :)

Hi! I've built an iPhone app that does this for your current location. http://www.pixpeekapp.com/ http://www.pixpeekapp.com/ It's surprisingly fun to see what your neighbors are up to.

I've been working on something similar for a little while. While I am still building the main site that lets people create their own realtime feeds based upon geofences they create, I couldn't resist making a quick page to keep up with the latest posts from various Vegas hotels. http://guiyui.cloudapp.net/ig/vegas_hotels.php http://guiyui.cloudapp.net/ig/vegas_hotels.php I also created a tool that can take an Instagram username and group their geo-tagged posts by physical address - useful for determining home/work addresses (requires Instagram login): http://guiyui.cloudapp.net/ig/username_geo.php http://guiyui.cloudapp.net/ig/username_geo.php

Cool; I did something like that with NodeJS a while back for an art project. I made this node package to facilitate it: https://github.com/internet-research-labs/instagram-realtime https://github.com/internet-research-labs/instagram-realtime event-drive, object-oriented lib for realtime instagram subscriptions

Cool! Always fun to play around with APIs like these. I created a Hyperlapse player where you can also search by city: (for example, videos tagged #sanfrancisco http://lapsetube.com/tag/sf http://lapsetube.com/tag/sf)

hey sorry to butt in, but for those of you who like this, you might want to check out my site: http://www.loqqus.com http://www.loqqus.com Similar concept but I think our take is a bit more robust. ;) Cheers.

Hey this is cool. I run a cafe in Fitzroy, Melbourne, forked it and pointed it to 50 metres of our cafe: https://fitzroygram.herokuapp.com https://fitzroygram.herokuapp.com Bam! This is our cafe wall: https://fitzroygram.herokuapp.com/p/zLYDXuEU8R https://fitzroygram.herokuapp.com/p/zLYDXuEU8R Neat. :)
