Smart. Discover viewing events in your area for the Total Solar #Eclipse 2017

With the Total Solar Eclipse around the corner (21st of August) I was curious to find events organized near where I live to enjoy this rare phenomenon. With my findings, I thought I would build a small tool so everybody else could find something close by to enjoy the Moon🌚 eating the Sun 🌞 . You can read more about how it was built on the "About" link, and check the Github repo if you want to hack around it. Hope you like it! 🚨 Protect your eyes on the day of the Eclipse 🚨

Emoji domains finally making a move!

Love the maximum phase feature, makes it really clear which spots will be best for the eclipse. Great use of Algolia Places too!

If I'm being honest, Nicolas' Algolia hacks are always a delight - usually it's just hacking together a searchable list of attendees/speakers/exhibitors at a conference when the conference app doesn't live up to his search standards, but this is actually cool enough that I've shared it with family & friends. A great example of how Search can be the answer to any question, even "where should I go to get the best view of a Solar Eclipse" Keep it up Nicolas!

Thank you for this. I've been telling everyone about it but haven't found any one compilation resource.

Oh that's a cool one! Some improvement on design but still it's as I love ws: simple and efficient. Keep up doing good work Nico ;)

That's rad. Nice to see Emoji Domains getting out there in the world. Obviously, we think they're great, but not too many other sites have had the confidence to move forward with only an emoji url. We'll add you to our Emoji Domain site gallery when I get a moment this morning...

If only this app covered the events outside the US, it would be beyond awesome

@alina_karnaukh Sadly this coming eclipse on August 21st will only visible in the US. Perhaps you could see 50-60% North of Mexico. Also, I use NASA dataset as a base, and they only cover the US. If there is a dataset of events in other countries I would be happy to add them to the database :)
