I know marta had has train/station available for a long time but it's fantastic to see someone doing something with it.\r\n\r\nI read through your readme and see you need a map. I have previous experience with using [leaflet](http://leafletjs.com/) and [mapbox](https://www.mapbox.com/) as well as some tinkering with Google Maps. I'm also a front-end dev (used angular for previous projects and working with react now)\r\n\r\nWhat have you already tired? Ideas? I'd love to help."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jakswa/martaio/issues/comments/91401324","html_url":"https://github.com/jakswa/martaio/issues/13#issuecomment-91401324","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jakswa/martaio/issues/13","id":91401324,"user":{"login":"bblack","id":1072131,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1072131?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/bblack","html_url":"https://github.com/bblack","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bblack/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bblack/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bblack/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bblack/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bblack/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bblack/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bblack/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bblack/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bblack/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-10T02:09:27Z","updated_at":"2015-04-10T02:09:27Z","body":"Maps are cool, but I can't think of any way it would be useful here. The distance of a train from my station isn't really helpful. I want to know when the train will arrive, not whether I have enough string to reach it. (Then of course there's the fact that we're guessing on the location anyway.) If I'm at North Ave and I want to know when the next southbound train arrives, I can't think of a significantly better alternative than \"North Ave: S :03\".\r\n\r\nI like marta.io because it gives me only what I want to know, which is when the next train is coming to the station that I'm at. Because it has simple presentation, geolocation, and few dependencies, it loads quickly and gives me the information I need as soon as I get to marta.io, without having to click anything or even scroll. A typical use case for marta.io is using a 3G or 4G connection, from a mobile device, often from within a station that interferes with the signal because it's underground. I think it's important to keep that information surfaced quickly, even on a poor connection or a slow device.\r\n\r\nThe nextbus mobile app uses google maps to do exactly what you're talking about, and frankly it's a pain in the ass to use. It takes a long time to load, and it's slow to respond to input, which is a problem because it requires a lot of zooming and panning to get to a station to see the next arrival time. For marta.io, I wouldn't want to sacrifice loading time or screen estate on the current view for something similar. I'd agree strongly with @jakswa on keeping it a secondary view."}}
