Inspiration
Allowing the city to communicate with it's residents in a location-based medium.
What it does
Allows visitors to anonymously post messages on particular locations to be viewed by tourist, residents, or city officials.
How I built it
This is a simple website using the google maps api. I hacked up what I could to add a hud, text box, means for posting pins and a running feed on top of the map.
Challenges I ran into
Recieving coordinates from the mouse's position. Creating a custom cursor. Doing everything I wanted.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I think the confirm post interface looks pretty slick.
What I learned
More of what's possible via the GoogleMaps API and cursor styles.
What's next for pincity
This is the essence of pincity. Scaling and adding more information is incredibly possible. With city-official users, they have the chance to include any data they deem necessary for enjoying a day downtown.
