I prefer https://github.com/alex3165/react-mapbox-gl over this library. It seems better maintained and documented.

How does Nativescript compare to Appcelerator Titanium or React Native? I know React Native hasn't been released, but they described their approach at the recent React Conf and was curious if it's similar.

Sure! Full Disclosure: I run frontend engineering for Zoomdata. Zoomdata is powering the backend, it's a server that connects to big data sources. In this case, Cloudera Impala, but we also connect to plenty of other big data stores li

Any plans for a REST api? Would be useful to query for updates since a timestamp parameter.

WhatsApp uses Foursquare too ( https://developer.foursquare.com/showcase/ ) so, I guess that will use Facebook Places as well.

It definitely serves Facebook's location directory of Places the most.

After Facebook acquired Instagram they were really clear that they wanted them to stay independent. I wonder how "independently" they made this decision to switch to Facebook Places instead of Foursquare. Instagram ads are most li

Yeah, that was an important feature for onboarding new users. I wish people didn't have to log in, but Instagram (understandably) has API limits that require logging in once you have a lot of activity.

Thanks! My good friend @alexsailer did a killer job on designing the app and interactions. I modified this example to create the effect: http://corgitoergosum.net/2013/03/16/from-js-to-uicollection...

I think it's more about finding out what type of location it is: restaurant, bar, club, park, concert venue, whatever. Then filter by that. Rather than the individual photos. But I like the idea of a "no food pics" option :)

Cool! Does this use the Flickr API?

Thanks a lot! Yes, it is a native ios app. For animations I used https://github.com/zrxq/UIView-EasingFunctions/ For animations, it's very important to use the right easing function to make it fit the feeling

Yeah, there are definitely similarities to what Color was trying to do. Originally I made the app to only see photos close by, but realized most users wanted to see other places. It also uses Instagram photos so there's already a ton o

I know what you mean, it sounds like you want to search or explore by categories. So, when you want to see landmarks, you only see those, but if you wanted to see food, you could filter by that as well. Thanks for the feedback. Also, these

Wow, that is so awesome to hear! I hope you enjoy using the app.

RE not using OAuth: I did that because users had a lot of trouble using the oauth login, so I basically just pass the users credentials to the oauth page. If you prefer oauth just press "Forgot Password" in the login popup and pre

Thanks! The app was designed by @alexsailer and developed by me, @wlindner. I've always wondered the same thing, and I think it's because all of the location data in the Instagram app comes from Foursquare. It would be really comp

for some reason, your comment made me imagine a silly conversation between two people: A: "use google docs" B: "why? it doesn't do what I need" A: "yeah, but they're working on the right problem"

This is a free market. They didn't lose, they just became commoditized.

Very cool, I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

I see! That's pretty cool. I don't really use django, I basically just use app engine as a backend REST api for my backbone.js app. So, I check if the build directly exists when I'm first loading the app, and the template loads the minified

It looks like this app runs the compiled main.js file (fishbone/static/js/main.compiled.js) even when you are developing in your local environment. Is it possible to run the unminified js code with App Engine in dev env and minified in prod

Would you consider this an alternative to Google App Engine? (except that it's focused on Rails instead of Python/Java/Go)

Have you considered creating this as a Xamarin theme component? http://components.xamarin.com/ It could be an easy way to get the theme in front of more buyers.
