I'm not directly exposing my life, but I have been running a site that streams photos taken within 250 meters of my cell phone's current location every three minutes. Check it out: www.instagrampostsnear.me
Side note: If anyone that has art world connections could hook me with the possibility of exhibiting some of the best photos, it would be very much appreciated.
- feld 12y agoThat's an interesting angle. Nice work.
- helsinki 12y agoThanks :)
- beachstartup 12y agohey that's cool. how did you get the gps location of your phone programmatically? is this a commercial project or are you going to open source it?
- corobo 12y agoNot OP nor do I know how they're doing it but you could do this sort of thing with one of the many location tracking apps that have an API access to the data it collects. For example there's the Moves app you could use which provides one https://dev.moves-app.com/docs/api https://dev.moves-app.com/docs/api
- helsinki 12y agoI am using a custom built iOS app to regularly send my gps coords via an HTTP request to a Flask app. The majority of the code is already open source, but I certainly think it has the potential to be a commercial project. If anyone wants to fund it, send me an email, haha.
