9 years ago Yes, I really like the idea. I have a few comments:
- Map-centric approach: Huge fan, will look into this.
- JSON API: Had the same thought on the way home yesterday so yes, definitely
- I am not a huge fan of long URLs but I don't have a better idea for supporting multiple versions yet. Maybe have the recent version available as /api/
as well... Multiple routes that point to the same target should be possible in bottle (or was this just flask?) simply by doing
@get('/foo')
@get('/bar/<something>')
def foobar(something=None):
return 'Hello, world!'I will add to this PR some more features for the API and then ask you to review them before merging.

The beginnings of a JSON API so that we can have an interactive map.
Does this look like a nice API or fundamentally offensive? How to put new routes in a different module, not quite satisfied with the approach here. Maybe they don't need to be somewhere else.
I'd like the landing page to look like this:
map centred somewhere sensible (browser geolocation?), just one box where you either type the name of a place you want to turn into a hash or a hash which then shows you where it is. After pressing return you see a pin at the location with a little popup telling you address and hashes.
Probably also good to add something so I can just click on a spot to learn its hash.
