OwnYourCheckin is a service which streams your Foursquare (technically Swarm) checkins to your own site in real-time.

Features

After signing in with IndieAuth, it sends your Foursquare (or Swarm) checkins to your micropub endpoint along with a photo and geo data.

Code

The code is based on OwnYourGram by Aaron Parecki with some changes by Felix Schwenzel.

How:

• A post from Felix on creation: http://wirres.net/article/articleview/9315/1/6/

Examples:

• http://wirres.net/article/articleview/9313/1/63/
• http://boffosocko.com/2016/05/17/55672674/ on WordPress with added map using published geo data. The syndicated link is automated through use of the Syndication Links WordPress plugin.

Differentiation

Be aware that there is also another project by the same name OwnYourCheckin by Ryan Barrett which watches for your Facebook checkins and copies them to your WordPress blog. A form of automated PESOS. Similar to and inspired by OwnYourGram.
