Mappple

Google Maps + Dribbble = Mappple

The location for each shot is determined by the Dribbble Player's location (as set in their profile). Unfortunately this also has the effect that some markers on the map may overlap.

Geocoding of the Players' locations is done using the Google Maps Geocoding API with a fallback to the GeoNames geocoding API.

Results from the Geocoding are stored using localStorage where supported (and with appropriate fallbacks via store.js).

The HTML and CSS was done using HAML and SCSS, respectively, and the JavaScript was created with CoffeeScript. I mostly code in Ruby and I've never used CoffeeScript before, so the resulting JS might be awful and full of JS anti-patterns. Or then again it might not.
