Using the photos of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry project "FIND / 47" (secondary use OK), we created a site that randomly displays domestic landscape photos using NTT's Cotoha and Google's API. I would say it myself, but in 30 hours of personally developed production, a nice site was created.

When visiting or updating the site, one of approximately 1000 photos will be randomly selected and displayed. Include a map of the location where the photo was taken and a description of the associated word. A simple site called. Let's go on a trip with intuition and those who are looking for a destination for the trip! It is a site for people, and it would be nice if I could get advertising revenue by stimulating the desire to travel by looking at the pictures. It's also perfect for killing time.
--You should use the API that can be used to shorten the development period. --Many data can be used free of charge for administrative relations
That is. I especially want to tell beginners.
The merit of personal development is that it can be expanded without restrictions such as delivery dates. However, I cannot keep my motivation for a long time. Therefore, it is more efficient to use the corporate / administrative system that can be used according to the purpose. This site also uses APIs such as NTT's Cotoha, Google Map, and Geographical Survey Institute. Thanks to these (not API, but also DBPedia etc.), the development period was shortened considerably.
In fact, Qiita already has many articles that explain how to use the APIs listed above and introduce actual examples, so it is easy to get started. Two birds with one stone, which also shortened the development period and helped me study.
FIND / 47, which is the source of the photos used in the main site, is related to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan mentioned above, and there are many data and APIs that can be used free of charge. Since the funds for personal development are limited, administrative relations with many data and systems that can be used free of charge will be appreciated. (Of course, many companies also offer it free of charge.)
The above is what I want to convey.
When it comes to Web services as an individual development engineer, there are many services that pursue the convenience of the other party. However, that is a matter of course as an engineer, and I also think that pursuing convenience is the secret of an engineer. That's why I think it's okay to have one time-killing site that can be a break. I made it.
Therefore, I would like you to take a break from development. And if you have any impressions or comments about using it, please do not hesitate to contact us. I want more Django friends.
