A Foursquare app that reminds me what I've had before
Raw
foursquare-brain.md

New place:

  1. Idly monitors my Foursquare check-ins.
  2. When it sees that I've checked-in to a place I haven't been before that offers foodage (restaurants, fast food, food truck, etc.), sends a Pushover notification. The notification will have a link to a page filled with the restaurant's information and allows me to, at my convenience, enter what I'm getting. I submit the page.
  3. After a set amount of time (30 minutes or so), it sends another notification asking me to rate my meal and leave comments. Saves to a database for lookup later.

Returning to a place:

  1. Same as above.
  2. When it sees that I've checked-in to a place that it has data about, the notification reflects that. ("You've been here before! So what are you having this time?") Links to page filled with past meals and comments. If I'm getting something new, lets me put in another meal. Submit the page.
  3. Same as above.

N.b. This only works if you check-in when you arrive. For those that check-in after they've left (for understandable privacy reasons), it's not as useful. Perhaps a search page that lets you look up past places?
