We also put the page live in production (on Nomad List’s server but still):įirst version of hoodmaps.io built on live in ⏰ 2 hours and 31 minutes □ ĭay 1 music: Rinse FM Podcast – Swamp 81 w/ Loefah – 30th March 2017 Day 2 () At the end we have a functioning map that you can draw on with colors. I start out with just plain HTML, CSS and JS and we see how far we get. This way, you can navigate a city better. My idea was to make a map anyone can draw on and categorize a city by colors which in turn reference to certain categories like “hipster” or “business”. On day 1, I’ll build the first prototype of Hoodmaps. □ I'm live streaming on coding a new thing called Hood Maps from zero □ /UpUKlFor2A I was going to code it from the start while streaming. I decided to livestream my build process on Twitch. What if I could average everybody’s drawings and show that? Like crowdsourced, would that work? So if 5 people draw over an area that it’s tourist, but 8 draw over it that it’s hipster, it’ll show up as hipster? I’d have hipster, tourist, wealthy, suburb, business and student area colors. Every color people draw would represent a different category. I made a map for of Amsterdam, just a few parts of Amsterdam that are actually still authentic + fun /aZ6Zaw2ZVHīut what if I could build this in a web app where I could draw over a map myself with different colors representing different categories. This was basic but it gave the idea of at least to avoid the tourist areas: When my friend Amy was visiting Amsterdam in 2015, she asked me where to stay. What are the cool “hip” areas? Where’s the wealthier areas? What areas are more suburbian (and maybe boring for me?). So what do I want? I want to get a quick overview of what a city is about. It’s a fake area that has nothing to do with Dutch culture. I’m originally from Amsterdam and I know 90% of tourists will never get any idea about the “real” Amsterdam because they just stay in the tourist center. I very often end up in the tourist center. The problem is that every time I travel to a new place it’s hard to figure out which parts of the city to go. Because for the first time ever, I have every single moment logged until launch. You don’t knows what something can be come until you ship! Or grow by itself to become a billion dollar IPO’ing company. Or get acquired for a few million dollars by a big company. And in case of startups, that tiny little dysfunctional app might become a $120,000/year bootstrapped business. But then with iteration it becomes something. The first version of anything always sucks. You might think “well, I could never do that”, but you forget that Uber, or Airbnb, or Google also started as tiny little apps one day. When you hear about a successful startup in the news, they’re probably already a few years in and you have no idea how it got started. I’ve always wanted to record the entire process from building a small side project that then turned into a successful launch and then potentially into an actual business. (This post is gigantic, click through to build, launch, post-launch and conclusion.) While recording the entire process on Twitch and Twitter. I Placed the order on March 23.I show how I built a mini startup called Hoodmaps in public from the first line of code to a functioning web app that I got to the frontpage of Reddit with over 300,000 people using it. I was then put in touch with Liam whom is supposedly another manager, aside from Paolo.I believe Liam is actually Paolo using a different name and number.I was assured the i sides of band would have diamonds as well, however, to date, I have still not received item. I then attempted to reach owner, Max, was told he is not available, does not take calls, which is convenient. Paolo then shifted his story yet again saying he couldn't cover item in diamonds. Paolo offered to discount the watch, place diamonds on entire piece.I took how offer to cover item in diamonds because I wanted to use credit from a prior layaway order which was cancelled. I then attempted to cancel, both Paolo and Amy refused, Amy alternated back and forth saying she can't cancel, also saying cancelation would result in a store credit. Amy was clueless about situation, saying the item I ordered is available. I ordered a Gucci Men's diamond watch, received a text from a Paolo whom Ive never heard of prior, my sales rep is Amy, Paolo offered a different model watch with $150 off.
