Show HN: real-time map of Kickstarter projects (thingswestart.com)

The infographics look AWESOME! Nice work on the video browse, too...

How are you getting the location data? Are you just scraping Kickstarter's site? Can't find any docs on their API...

Super gorgeous...love being able to visit communities and get a pulse of the World of Kickstarter. Congrats!

Fantastic! One UI issue: When i zoom in on an area, and click a location, it automatically loads the video. I'd much rather see the project "popup" on the map and then have the option to see the video.

Does google maps do the fanning out of many POIs in a circle automatically or did you have to do that yourself?

lookin' good! scouting the map is a great way to get the creative juicing flowing.

Very nicely done. I expected for film projects in LA than the SF bay area but not more technology projects too. Love to see the wide reach of Kickstarter as a funding platform.

Very cool work. Thx.

Thanks! Where are you getting the feed of projects from by the way? I find Kickstarter terrible for discovering new projects, its seems a lot of stuff gets buried.
