The New ItemBrowser is Almost Here

The new ItemBrowser is launching soon. Without David, the site would be a crappy, manually updated mess. The stuff he’s done to automate the site is nothing short of phenomenal in my book. When I first set out to make the site, I wanted to push myself to learn PHP better. I did accomplish that early on, but I also realized that getting to where I want to be with PHP was going to take far longer than this little project required.

Some stuff you can expect in this release:

• Geo-Location. Explore nearby spots. Find items nearby. Find specific spot types nearby.
• Full-screen web app capable. (Aside from an annoying refresh-on-load issue, the site works swimmingly well full-screen.)
• Large, beautiful artwork. We wanted the site to look gorgeous on retina displays.
• Optimized for mobile first. The site will work well in modern desktop browser, but the experience is custom-tailored for iPhone use. Alternate (responsive) layouts will come after launch.

PS. If you sign up for notifications, some of you may get early access to the site. Just sayin’… ;)
