This is awesome. Since you are on HN, I imagine you are looking for feedback. It would be great if you could easily reorder the list under favorite places.

One way to do that(not ideal) is to add the places in the right order.

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 built a microservice that does something similar[0] for Mailchimp. They have an API that requires a secret key, but we didn't want to keep a server running for it (and obviously didn't want anyone on the internet playing with our key). So I set up a little python service that serves a page and 'proxies' the API to the end user.

The poster generator isn't working for me. Chrome 63, El Capitan, from Canada, using uBlock Origin but I turned it off. Here's what I get. https://imgur.com/a/qYoFV

I really like the concept, but in addition to the free png (which is nice!) what about offering a stack of handy portable map-sized ones? I could imagine a stack (maybe fused at the top like a post-it note pad) to let sit out on a table so people can take one, etc...

Thanks for the suggestion, this is something we were already considering.

+1, I would also use something like that for my rental property.

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.

Could you try in Chrome? I didn't test the site with Fedora.

In Chromium it worked.
