New blogpost: Going to the cinema is a data visualization problem
19 comments
@nikitonsky Small feedback: the images of premieres don’t work for all titles, since they don’t always have the name of the movie. Adding the movie’s title as text below the image would be really helpful. 🙂 Oh and linking to a trailer of the movie would be amazing too. Not sure that’s something your dataset can offer. @nikitonsky That's very helpful website! A couple of thoughts on usability: @nikitonsky I love stuff like this! I have this thought with many things, but don’t know how to pull it off most of the time. application.garden looks super cool 👀 Thanks for the post! @nikitonsky Fair. 👍 Mostly filtering for OV (incl German originals which are rarely explizicitly labelled OV) and selecting multiple towns/cities, which I think have both been mentioned in the meantime. 😅
[DATA EXPUNGED]
@nikitonsky it is currently missing the city of Tübingen. When manually loading it via the URL, none of the movie theaters there show up, just surrounding ones. @SherlockHans believe it or not, but you are the second person who mentioned Tübingen specifically @nikitonsky It is a great place — just did not expect it to be a hotbed of indie-webapp-power-users ^^ @nikitonsky this is cool! I think @nonnullish might like it as they've been doing similar things recently(?) @nikitonsky where do you get the data from? I’m missing smaller cities like Fulda which has a cinemaxx or similar (not sure which chain) and even smaller cities with independent cinemas |
