You need 2 people. You are red dots they are green. My to do list.

1. limit the zoom level so you can see users block but not exact location

2. Integrate twilio for anon phone / txt capability

3. Fix search and check-ins... hacking on this now. I am entering this in the twilio Holiday Hack contest.

I got this error: IP-0AF2C18B HTTP www.localstrange.com C:/psc/htdocs/default/index.php Not very erotic...

To be fair, not much would make me feel dirtier than PHP on Windows.

Leave off the www and just go to localstrange.com

Sorry about that I had the dns setup wrong and www. was going to the wrong aws instance. Its fixed now. I had to update from this account because i'm using noprocrast and cant login as p01nd3xt3r for a few more hours.

The whole thing is writen in Node w/ Mongo. I hate windows & probably could not get php running on windows either.

The minute I type in "blonde" or whatever, the first thing Chrome does is say "The browser would like to know your physical location" before it even begins loading the map. I feel like if I was trying to be discrete about my erotic actions, I'd be inclined to click "no".

More concerningly, the entire page stops loading before you make up your mind (since the whole page is a google map, I'm guessing?) - this makes it look like you have to say "yes" in order to use the website at all. You may want to look into trying to get parts of the site to load first that make it clearer that getting your location is an optional part of the experience.
