visithe.re

Interesting. There should be a way to write a location if you don't want to (or can't) do geolocated tweets.

"Food near Philadelphia"

joshguthrie4• 15 years ago

I was thinking of it but lacks the "street-close" aspect of the application, ie: You can be geolocalized as being "in Philadelphia" but it'll use a determined point as your factual location which may be on the opposite side of your real location.

is it just me, or the url reads more like "visi there" than like "visit here"?

joshguthrie4• 15 years ago

I thought of that too and hesitated in taking "visitthe.re" but ultimately decided against it because the URL would've been too long. I think both versions play well and are easy to remember.

That logo is atrocious.

joshguthrie4• 15 years ago

I whole-heartedly agree =)

The truth is that I only built this app for fun (first version was made to return the closest bar to each tweets from a specific friend) and curiosity (Node+Twitter+FourSquare) and when it began to get "bigger", someone suggested me to use a "real" design, with a logo, a presence, etc...

I'm no designer but using Illustrator to get something quickly was a nice break from emacs. The arrow was completely inspired by the FedEx logo (though by bad memory, it ended up being a bit different) and the colors were only ran through a "can I look at it more than five minutes without my eyes burning" test. But if you want to submit a better logo, I'll gladly take it =)

about and contact pages don't seem to work

joshguthrie4• 15 years ago

They were supposed to scroll down to these parts of the page but they became useless since the page fits in one screen. I will remove them on the next push. Thanks :)

Be careful, pretty sure this is against Twitter's ToC.
