An app that accidentally went viral! Read the story in WIRED here
First, create a pythin virtual environment, and install all of the depenedencies.
python3 -m venv ve
source ve/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Next, create a google cloud platform project with Street View Static API access (you will need a credit card to set this up)
https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/street-view-image-backend.googleapis.com
Set the following environment variables by adding the following lines to your .bash_profile, .zshrc, etc:
export API_URL='https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview'
export KEY='YOUR-MAPS-STREETVIEW-KEY'
export SECRET='YOUR-GOOGLE-SECRET'
You might want to rename the variables to not conflict with existing ones.
To run the web application locally
flask run
and, visit http://localhost:5000
For production deployment, I used gunicorn.
Since the site is down now, you can also use images.py as a command-line bernie meme creation tool with
python images.py 'FILENAME.jpg' 'LOCATION'
Procfile and Aptfile are required to deploy with Heroku
PRs and issues welcome!
Please do not deploy without my permission!

This has been insane. 9,849,938 Bernie memes were created during the lifetime of this site!
