Yesterday I went out into the real world and used my self-built FourSquare-forFediverse clone for the first time!

You can see the results by following @edent_location

✅ Location metadata attached
✅ Images with alt text
✅ Links to OSM

❌ No parsing of URls or Hashtags
❌ Location accuracy still a bit dodgy
❌ UI very bare-bones

Pretty good result for half-a-dozen PHP files.

@Edent @edent_location

It certainly does work. There was one thing I noticed that seemed b0rked. That or maybe my client couldn't read it?

I see the alt text in the location.edent link, but when I try to click the alt text link in my (stock Mastodon web client) it doesn't show. See video:

I expected the alt text to be visible in my client, right? Maybe not?
