Show HN: Tools for tracking cigarette litter in SF (and more)

3 pointsby EminIsrafilover 6 years ago
Hi all,<p>We&#x27;re working on tools to map and clean litter. We have an iOS app and a fancy &quot;picker-upper&quot; you can see in this video: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=bZ9crcWoqqc&amp;t=0s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=bZ9crcWoqqc&amp;t=0s</a><p>We&#x27;re validating whether businesses and residents sponsoring regular cleanups is a viable business model for us.<p>This is reddit post we made, using our data, about the cigarette litter on Polk Street, SF, over the course of a month: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;dataisbeautiful&#x2F;comments&#x2F;9lc2ir&#x2F;tobacco_litter_picked_up_on_polk_street_sf_over&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;dataisbeautiful&#x2F;comments&#x2F;9lc2ir&#x2F;tob...</a><p>That was one of our first attempts and we&#x27;re working on more substantive visualizations of different parts of the city now.<p>We&#x27;re also thinking about launching a kickstarter for the picker upper, since a lot of people have been asking about it. It wasn&#x27;t initially in the plans - but people seem to like it.<p>Feedback is always appreciated!<p>Thanks, Emin<p>Link to the App: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;rubbish-love-where-you-live&#x2F;id1374702632" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;rubbish-love-where-you-live&#x2F;...</a><p>(Head&#x27;s up: You need Google or Facebook to sign-in at the moment. Adding generic sign-in is on our list of things to do. We&#x27;ll be releasing a pretty big update later this week.)
