foursquair

I just started developing for Adobe AIR like 15 minutes ago, so bear with me here. :)

I wanted a small desktop app that I could run in the corner that would auto-refresh and show me where my friends currently are. So I whipped up ‘foursquair’ quick. It basically wraps the foursquare mobile web (http://m.playfoursquare.com) and refreshes once every 5 minutes.

In the near future, I’m hoping we can make the app use the foursquare API (coming soon). Get the source (and let me know if you want to collaborate/help out) and get version 0.1 of the app.

    Nice – can you use the iphone template in the design?

    hiz-zot. just what i need to prevent me from going out!

    at some point, yes.

    my dream is that someone else, um, smarter, will take over development
    and attach this thing to the official API (coming soon). then you can
    skin it anyway you want

    or in reverse, just what you need to remind you to go out (as you
    slave away at your desk)

    was thinking about it — but sensitive location data from my friends! :)

    Naveen, what dodgy places are your friends hanging out at!?

  • http://naveenium.com naveen

    playa, please! dodgy or not, i'd rather not share their locations
    (even after the fact). maybe i can do a “blurred” out screenshot —
    but i'm not good at the photoshopping :)

    foursquair is too good of a name, it would be irresponsible not to make the app

    i thought of it myself

    it's one of my proudest works

    now, who wanna help me hack it up? come on, man up!

    Sent some simple morning screenshots your way. Snagit's a great tool for taking shots of windows or the full screen, and it's got a 30-day free trial.
