[–] ernestipark 15y ago ↗ Nice. Bug: when i have the dropdown for "what I'm homesick for" but hit discover, the dropdown stays over the new overlay. [–] handler 15y ago ↗ thanks for pointing that out. will investigate and forward to jQuery UI.
[–] dibsonthenerdy1 15y ago ↗ Very nice! I am not familiar with hunch's api. Could you share some internals on how you leveraged that? [–] handler 15y ago ↗ hunch gives recommendations about pretty much everything, you can check out their api here: http://hunch.com/developers/v1/i am specifically using "get-similar-results" and "get-recommendations" limited by the location you enter

[–] will_lam 15y ago ↗ Awesome work. Did you show this to Yelp as well to get their API limit increased? [–] handler 15y ago ↗ no, thats a good idea lemme look into it
[–] rokhayakebe 15y ago ↗ If you could build this for movies (and it works) I would pay 5 usd/year for it. [–] handler 15y ago ↗ noted, i'll wordmerge the word "movies" and see if i can come up with any cool names for this ;?j [–] rokhayakebe 15y ago ↗ Be sure to notify me/us. [–] kilovoltaire 15y ago ↗ You totally can, with basically the same calls!e.g. to find the film Triplets of Belleville: http://api.hunch.com/api/v1/get-results/?name=triplets%20of%...id is hn_3575764, so then we can get movie recommendations for someone who likes Triplets of Belleville: http://api.hunch.com/api/v1/get-recommendations/?likes=hn_35...Seems pretty reasonable: Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Dr. Strangelove

[–] alex_h 15y ago ↗ Some excellent recommendations, I love it.One small bug, a confirmation window shows up to select a restaurant, even when there is only 1 match to the text entered. [–] wushupork 15y ago ↗ really? mine was off. I entered in a very very authentic Thai restaurant in LA which I love and expected to see some authentic Thai restaurant recommendations in Chicago - not at all. #fail
