In the NASA promotional video, the project lead says they plan to implement the tech in July.


Wonderful work! It would be even better if you can add browser compatibility for each item.


Absolutely. Came to the comments just to say that.

Also, would be nice if it remembered which "load more" page you had open in a cookie or something so when going "back" after looking at one in more detail, I don't have to click Load More again to get back to where I was.

Fantastic site. Keep up the good work. Definitely bookmarking.


this is a great feature, i will surely look into it and implement. thanks!


When you create an item it asks for browser compatibility. So i have that data stored in the Database, just need to figure out how to display in a nice way without breaking the design!


Oh I would love that too!


I think if the users can copy the Hex codes by clicking on individual colors, it can be a useful service.


Wow! I had the same idea. I think Yelp should buy Four Square. If two services are combined, the reviewers can be ranked based on the number of check-ins. That gives the reviewers more credibility.

If Yelp cannot buy Four Square, at least there should be some kind of partnership. I think this will help them both.


I agree, but why stop there?

Turn all the annoying things in a city/turn into a friendly, fun activity: directions, restaurant reviews, hard to find places with no signs, etc.

Let's say you just moved to a city and find it someone dumped their dead pet (eg boa constrictor) on the street. You type in, "Who do I call to get rid of it?", someone posts the answer, and you both get a reward for improving the city (and the world).

The idea is to turn life's annoying problems into a fun puzzle to solve with a group of people spread around the world.

I doubt Yelp, Foursquare, or I would have the imagination to refine it. But you do. "Every problem becomes an opportunity for fun."

But, it gets better! You also get to compete against Craigslist and AirBnB. Maybe it would be fun to compete against 4 major competitors who have TONS more resources than you. People would be expecting you to fail majorly. Now that sounds like fun.


FYI, Yelp offers their own check-in feature, so they could do this now if they aren't already, although I imagine more people use Foursquare than Yelp for check-ins.
