I prefer https://github.com/alex3165/react-mapbox-gl over this library. It seems better maintained and documented.

How does Nativescript compare to Appcelerator Titanium or React Native? I know React Native hasn't been released, but they described their approach at the recent React Conf and was curious if it's similar.

Sure! Full Disclosure: I run frontend engineering for Zoomdata. Zoomdata is powering the backend, it's a server that connects to big data sources. In this case, Cloudera Impala, but we also connect to plenty of other big data stores like Elastic Search, Solr, etc. Zoomdata queries those big data stores, then streams the results over a websocket to visualizations. We have a web interface for analyzing your data in standard charts, but we also allow for total customization of visualizations (like for building this dashboard). Those visualizations can be embedded using iframes, or a more advanced approach using a javascript library. I used our javascript library to embed these visualizations into my own web based dashboard.
You can find out more at our website: http://www.zoomdata.com/
And we're hiring experienced JS devs in the bay area!

Any plans for a REST api? Would be useful to query for updates since a timestamp parameter.

WhatsApp uses Foursquare too (https://developer.foursquare.com/showcase/) so, I guess that will use Facebook Places as well.

It definitely serves Facebook's location directory of Places the most.

After Facebook acquired Instagram they were really clear that they wanted them to stay independent. I wonder how "independently" they made this decision to switch to Facebook Places instead of Foursquare. Instagram ads are most likely just Facebook's new ad platform. Facebook just removed their Camera app from the app store (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2457866,00.asp) because Instagram IS their Camera app.

Bingo.

Yeah, that was an important feature for onboarding new users. I wish people didn't have to log in, but Instagram (understandably) has API limits that require logging in once you have a lot of activity.

Thanks! My good friend @alexsailer did a killer job on designing the app and interactions. I modified this example to create the effect: http://corgitoergosum.net/2013/03/16/from-js-to-uicollection...

I think it's more about finding out what type of location it is: restaurant, bar, club, park, concert venue, whatever. Then filter by that. Rather than the individual photos.
But I like the idea of a "no food pics" option :) Instagram is infamous for stuff like that.
