Start location should autofill from GeoIP #22

Open jason-curtis opened 10 years ago

perhaps use http://freegeoip.net/ (my first Google result)

It may be best to just use the HTML5 geolocation API that comes standard in browsers (and maybe then fallback to what you listed)

True, HTML5 is cool, but it usually requires the user to confirm that they want to share their location, which is a little annoying and I wouldn't want the user to have to confirm that before the website starts being useful. Maybe do both!

Actually good point, given that we don't need precise location....nevermind then!
