I wrote up a simple web app that accepted two different secrets to "login" (one for each person). Once logged in, you were presented with a photo and asked for a comment (first thing that comes to mind or a reaction).
If only one comment was submitted, it would tell you to remind your partner to leave a comment. Once both parties submitted a comment, the photo displayed with both comments and a countdown to the next photo. The countdown varied from 12-48 hours randomly - to give me time to figure out when to actually propose. This ran for several weeks total.
It was fun to see our comments - sometimes they would nearly match. Or reveal something we didn't remember about a historical date/event we shared.
I eventually used the site to pop the question, and then made the whole thing into a photo book, including a word cloud built from each of our comments. Was really fun to see each of our most common words.
It was an incredibly simple, fun project using flask/sqlite on an ec2 instance.
My only suggestion might be to add some finer granularity to location. I zoom into Boston and just see one blob - when it might be nice to see zip-code level granularity.
I try to change my location to Cambridge MA, but it stays in Boston.
Nice and messy right now - was working on an GPS(RC)-Car Arduino project. Monitors not turned on due to the cluttered work-surface. (primary machine is a 15" santa rosa mbp)
