Show HN: Self-generated custom art for your home or Airbnb

[ComputerGuru]

It's very nice, I just wanted to wish you the best in this venture. It's functional, well-priced, addresses a need, doesn't claim to be more than it really is, and is pulled off very nicely.

Suggestion for more layouts.

[edouard1234567]

Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion. We will add a landscape format and new styles (color schemes) in the near future. Which style is your favorite?

[verst]

I love this. Thanks for adding the free image export option!

A word of warning: Your Foursquare API client ID and Secret are completely visible to anyone and can easily be abused. [1]

Also, currently the client ID is exceeding its rate limit, so I cannot add my own locations.

[1] You are making these kinds of requests: https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/suggestCompletion?query...

[verst]

Possible solution:

Maybe proxy your Foursquare API requests via https://www.eliotand.me/airbnb-poster/search or a similar API endpoint you'd create. Disallow CORS on that new API endpoint. You can keep the API call signature but remove the client ID and secret.

On your backend you can then make those Foursquare API requests and add the client ID and secret to the request.

Very nice! I downloaded the web (png) version for my brother's little guest house outside US. I'd love to be able to

1. Change/remove various texts on the poster (e.g., even if we have no rules, it still adds 'House Rules').

2. Download a bigger png file for a little charge to print locally (to avoid international shipping charges).

But this is nice as it is!

[codyrobbins]

This is a great idea and I’m going to order one for my parent’s rental house. Really nice job!

As constructive feedback I really wish the favorite places list showed the address of each location rather than the location type. I think the address would be much more useful information and the type is obvious from the name for each location I added so it’s kind of superfluous. I also wish this secondary text didn’t awkwardly wrap onto a new line when the location name is long—I think ideally each place would have its name on its own line followed by its address on a new line directly underneath it.

But that’s just a quibble—this is awesome!

[Harvey-Specter]

It would be nice to have an option to remove the House Rules / Contact section. I just want one for my home.

[njovin]

Yep. I’d like to get a series of these for something like “where Mom and Dad met”, “where you were born” etc. for my sons room.

[beefsack]

Particularly, I actually want to remove all sections and titles and just have the map.

Would it be possible to not show headings if there is no content in that section?

[habi]

Maybe you could use https://www.cartida.com/, they offer more 'bland' maps.

[edouard1234567]

We added that to our feature list.

[hansoolo]

True that! As not only airbnbers wanna use this neat app...

[nextstep]

This is fantastic! One feature request would be to reduce the size of the "You are here" circle; it's covering many blocks surrounding my place and I'd love to make it smaller, more of a pin so it's clear what block you're on.

[danshapiro]

I'd love some options to let me use this for my office. Different icon, "guest wifi" instead of "house rules", etc.

[misnamed]

I really like the concept, but in addition to the free png (which is nice!) what about offering a stack of handy portable map-sized ones?

I could imagine a stack (maybe fused at the top like a post-it note pad) to let sit out on a table so people can take one, etc...

[sdubois]

Thanks for the suggestion, this is something we were already considering.

[IgorPartola]

Also an SVG export.

You are violating licenses. "© Mapbox © OpenStreetMap © Leaflet" is not appropriate. Including a copyright mark for Leaflet suggests that you have no idea why, so make sure you really understand whose data and art you use and how you are allowed to do so.

[surrogatekey]

Having trouble finding this and am curious, if anyone could point it out -

[edouard1234567]

We fixed that.

[tobltobs]

Great idea!

Handling of favorite places is done really good.

I would choose the second or the fourth style as default. The first one is to "monochrome".

If I change the size to 18x24 the circle around the "You are here" gets stretched to a oval.

This is so cool, it deserves his own domain.

[Raphmedia]

That's perfect for the office too! A nice looking poster highlighting all the nice 5-7 meeting spots is really cool.

I wish we could edit the "House rules" title for something more corporate.

[edouard1234567]

Added to the list.

[grahamburger]

Wow very nice! I don't AirBnB my house but could see using this in a corporate office esp. where hosting people from out of town for meetings, etc. Might be cool if you could highlight a route - 'to the airport' 'to the beach' etc.

[edouard1234567]

Re: Highlighting a route. Great suggestion. Added to the list.

[license2e]

Awesome work!! I want to order one for our new corporate HQ office we are moving to..

Wish list: - ability to change the "home" icon, - remove some of the headings (house rules, etc) - less priority: upload logos (not really necessary, but would look awesome)..

[edouard1234567]

Thanks for the feedback. We are making the titles "house rules" etc... customizable. Coming soon. What would you like to the change the home icon to? You company logo?

[slavik81]

That's a really nice result. A few customization options would go a long way to making it useful even beyond just airbnb rentals. I was considering buying one for a foreign exchange student who's visiting. Though, airbnb owners are probably easier to service and less price sensitive than me. Seems like you targeted that product really well.

[lpasselin]

Great idea and great website. I am jealous of your design skills!

It would be great to be able to move and resize the zoomed bubble. Even a quick toggle between the corners would do.

[edouard1234567]

I like the toggle idea. Added to the list and thanks for the suggestion. I think we'll probably introduce different formats/configurations.

[moonka]

This is awesome. Since you are on HN, I imagine you are looking for feedback. It would be great if you could easily reorder the list under favorite places.

[edouard1234567]

One way to do that(not ideal) is to add the places in the right order.

[ucarion]

The ability to edit/pan the map by hand afterwords is really nicely done. Excellent work!

[dfex]

What a fantastic idea!

I wish you and your team all the best.

My only quibble is that the location data for one of my "Favourite Places" is wrong - it would be nice to be able to manually move the location bubbles.

[edouard1234567]

Thanks for the feedback. Added to the list.

[sdubois]

We created the Hospitality art to help people and hosts share useful info with guests, like favorite places, house rules, WIFI, contact info etc... all that packaged in a beautiful poster.

[nitemice]

It's a bit silly, but I love that you can zoom out the circle map to make it more of an overview of your location in the larger context of a city or country even.

It's a nice little touch.
