This is a work in progress, but I wanted to see if there was enough demand by releasing the MVP. I still need to do the google map output and social sharing links.

The problem all started when I was on the phone with some company that needed to ship me something. It was such a pain trying to tell them my address over a bad phone connection. So I thought it'd be great if we could simply recite a short code like a zip code or postal code in order to give our exact addresses.

But to remember 6 random characters is awful, why not 3 words like this one : http://what3words.com/ Same problem, similar idea, another solution.
