This is awesome! Would love to hear more about the dataviz the author is putting together. I have to admit the stack seems like it might be a /bit/ overkill for this use case, but it seems like it was a great learning experience!

It would be a bit of a nightmare of device maintenance (and loss), but real time bike tracking at Burning Man would be pretty nice.
People lose bikes, people get bikes stolen, and people also want to know where the Yellow Bikes (free to use bikes) are located.

This looks really cool. I would love to see the output of the what is visualized my MapD.

How is this anything other than a normal database app? How many bikes are being shared that you need a 'data pipeline' and 'stream sets' and Kafka and MapD to make it 'real time'

Do they make that data public for the same loophole that paypal tries to use with venmo? i.e. make sharing the data "a feature" so that they can sell it as there is no expectation of privacy.

Do you work for the company that developed MapD?
