Jeremia Kimelman tweeted about a cool new API from @FCC. When I saw the tweet I decided to try and build an app in Appery.io.

About 12 minutes later, I showed him the first version of a mobile app using that API created in Appery.io. This was a brand new API to me, I have never seen it, or tried it before.

Note that the app has been updated since this tweet. You will actually see the final app.

@maxkatz that's awesome, might be even cooler if it used geolocation to determine which block the phone was in 🙂

@jeremiak Refresh the app, added Geolocation

In seven minutes, Geolocation option was added to the app. In addition to entering the latitude/longitude, you can use the device’s location to get the information.

@maxkatz haha, that's great!
