A map of places I've checked in on Earth.

Screenshot

Why

  • I want to plot all the places I've been to on a map.
  • I want a digital version of push pins on a physical map.
  • I want to show people where I've been to.
  • I want to see where I haven't been to.
  • I want to try Mapbox GL JS.
  • I like the cool maps from Gyroscope.
  • I need an excuse to get a .earth TLD, inspired by Conquer Earth. (I already have .life)

Development

First steps

  1. Generate access token from Foursquare (requires your own CLIENT ID, etc; figure it out on your own).
  2. Create .env file, with environment-specific variables on new lines:
ACCESS_TOKEN=XXX

Wonderful yarn scripts

  • yarn checkins - Fetch all checks-ins from Foursquare. Raw checkins.json is not part of repo because of privacy. checkins[.min].geojson files have shortened coordinates for privacy.
  • yarn mapsicon - Download copy of country maps from Sn3b/mapsicon. Uses napa because it doesn't have a package.json.
  • yarn countries - Generate all optimized SVG countries from the copy above.
  • yarn start - Watch and transpile assets/app.raw.js, and start the server.

Future

  • Make this available for other people. Self-hosted or hosted?
  • Date & time range filtering, for check-ins.
