What's Next? #20

I'm thinking we maintain a relatively original-looking version of the site, and have another branch where we can go absolutely wild with everything people want to contribute -- styling, different images and overlays (like people have been asking for on twitter), changing image placement, all the rest! That version could become a more general open-source web based meme creation app. Would love anyone's thoughts!

Keep the site up? I wonder if there's some free way of keeping this up to get to 10M memes

I'm sure adding some caching would keep the api costs down too!

nicksawhney commented 3 years ago

@keevie Caching is a great idea, creating an issue now.

For macro-level discussions on the future of this thing, let's use #22

@JackHowa The main issue with other APIs is that other services don't offer a combination of fuzzy location search and street view images that's as functional as the google API. I think one of the reasons the site was popular was the fact that you didn't have to be super exact with the address. However, I know that there are street view images available for free through services like mapillary so a possible solution is to use a different service for the location search and another for the images. I'm not sure if the quality/coverage of other services matches google.

25 for keeping the original viral site alive.

I can take a look tomorrow at the code to see about optimizations. Seems there are some conversations already occurring about cost/credits/etc.

@nicksawhney closing this, not sure if this is still work-in-progress?
