That is correct https://pivotal.io/spring-app-framework

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…

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, bu…

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 Place…

Bingo.

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 ha…

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. I…

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 f…

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 …

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 …

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…

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