They moved the order form 🙄

Hey,

Big fan of the site :-) I use it many times a week as I'm walking around New York, referencing my physical location with the photos from the map.

I'd love to have the site as a "quasi" app (i.e. using the "Add to Home Screen" functionality available in iOS Safari and Android) for a few reasons:

• easier access (just tap the app)
• support for geolocation (i.e. I could love if the map placed/showed me where I currently am)
• full screen UI (i.e. get a bit more real estate to see the map)

I think that some of these could be achieved with some relatively minor tweaks. Right now, when adding the site to the Home Screen (as a PWA i.e. Progressive Web App), the default icon & title are not really great:

I believe this can be fixed using some tags (see here; similar ones are available for Android as well) and a manifest.json file.

As for geolocation, I don't know if there'd be any interest from your part to add it; I'd be happy to prototype it. I generally have location services disabled for iOS Safari as a whole (just a general/privacy preference), but for this site, I'd enable it for sure. It should definitely be optional/respect if location services are not available at all (i.e. fail silently).

Cheers

Node 14 EOL soon

They seem to be requiring some upgrade

After November 15, 2022, the Xenial build image will not be supported. To avoid build failure, select another build image. Read the migration guide.

I think it's always been like this. It needs to wait until the photo is fully loaded before displaying it.
