This is awesome. My first thought was I wish I could make this map for all the key places for my wedding, although forcing the "House Rules" and "Contact" section make that awkward. Also wish I could adjust where the zoom bubble is located.

We're are making the "House rules"/"Contact" titles editable. Coming soon... Moving the bubble will be a bit trickier, you can pan the map though.

I love this. Thanks for adding the free image export option! A word of warning: Your Foursquare API client ID and Secret are completely visible to anyone and can easily be abused. [1] Also, currently the client ID is exceeding its rate limit, so I cannot add my own locations. [1] You are making these kinds of requests: https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/suggestCompletion?query...

Possible solution:

Maybe proxy your Foursquare API requests via https://www.eliotand.me/airbnb-poster/search or a similar API endpoint you'd create. Disallow CORS on that new API endpoint. You can keep the API call signature but remove the client ID and secret.

On your backend you can then make those Foursquare API requests and add the client ID and secret to the request.

I immediately wanted to order one, just for my home, no airbnb. But I'm unable to add new places. I've deleted most of the pre-selected places and tried entereing a few different ones in the field but nothing happens. If I click done I just see the one I didn't delete on the map and no new ones. FF 57.0 (64-bit) on Fedora 26.

Kinda sounds like they've hit api quota limits? Perhaps try later?

It would be nice to have an option to remove the House Rules / Contact section. I just want one for my home.

Yep. I’d like to get a series of these for something like “where Mom and Dad met”, “where you were born” etc. for my sons room.

Actually for the air BnB rental, I think it would be real sweet to think of some way you can make procedural inputs from suggestions from the current guests, and send the resulting design to them in a choice of mug or mouse mat or tea cloth or what have you. The dates of their stay and so on . . But be sure to advertise on the output, naturally. Anything you can do to multiply good word of mouth is (deductable) pennies well spent.

What a fantastic idea! I wish you and your team all the best. My only quibble is that the location data for one of my "Favourite Places" is wrong - it would be nice to be able to manually move the location bubbles.

Thanks for the feedback. Added to the list.
