OVER_QUERY_LIMIT

Such a shame that Google started limiting and charging for their APIs :(

I just fixed this by changing all API lookups from server-side to client-side.

I think Google's limits are per IP address, so doing the lookups client-side should keep my app working for any reasonable amount of use.

Woo!

I'm curious, did you just happen to have a domain name containing the word "step"? Or that was done after the initial 15 minutes?

I did not already have the domain.

Finding & registering the domain was part of the 15 minutes. As was setting up (and propagating) the DNS.

you should totally have recorded your screen while doing all of this, that would be incredibly educational. great stuff!

Impressive. I suppose if you iterate a thousand times (only 30 working days!) you're bound to generate a big hit. :-)

You may be able to do it fast, but do you really learn anything new?
