Recently @Gary has developed a new app for us to use for Foursquare tracking purposes: http://fs.mattersofgrey.com/ If you have not checked it out yet you should. If you have any ?'s about the app please feel free to ask them here.
This app is designed to collect badge data and other data made available by foursquare from your foursquare account ONLY IF YOU DECIDE to link your foursquare account to the foursquare badge list application using the "Connect to Foursquare" button. You DO NOT have to connect your 4sqr account to the bagde app if you do not want to. Using this app is OPTIONAL and at YOUR OWN DISCRETION. If you do not want your foursquare information gathered then do not now or in the future link your 4sqr account to this app.
@Dan It will be soon. Our team of minions are hard at work collecting data on all the badges that have been released. At this time, there are 312 badges listed.
@Gary... thanks for the add'l features...the minions of users, thank your minions...:)
By the way, thank to your alert, I got all my Swarm badges this weekend, Now, I need to turn off the alerts OFF and I am not able to. When I click on the "Swarm Alert: On" link, the page refresh with no discernible change. I've tried it for Firefox, Chrome, and IE browsers. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks again.
This is just a suggestion: Instead of listing all badges alphabetically, what about listing the badges in sub-categories? IE College badges, Foursquare, Expertise badges, Partner badges, and Retired badges.
@Gary Is it possible to make the "Badges to Unlock" sentence at the top of the page clickable? Once you click it, it will show you the badges you need?
I can't get the swarm alert to load on my phone... I'm using the stock DROID RAZR browser.. and when i use opera mini it wont let me sign in/connect my Foursquare account...
The Porky badge is showing as a badge I'm yet to unlock - but I already have it at level 10. Is it a bug or is it something else? I don't see anyone else reporting the same problem.
Love this app/page. Just something I noticed. When I first used the system, it said I couldn't get the I'm a hookie badge. I was able to do so. Maybe this is should not be classified as a university badge. One thing I am not sure if it could be done - could you make the expert level a separate column? This way I could sort on that and pick which badge to work on next? Thanks a million for all the hard work!
In the badge list the SXSW Virgin-Sophomore-Three peat and Home run should be mutually exclusive, like college badges: if I got one of them, the three other CANNOT be earned...
It shows 2 SXSW Virgin in the list. SXSW Virgin (2011) that I already unlocked & SXSW Virgin (2012) that I haven't unlocked. I think the badge is the same & we can only have one.
With so much going on, I am going to open the development site for use. It will be open throught the Monday evening for general use, at which time I hope to have the new coded moved over. There are a lot of changes and new features and it is going to give you errors. If you have comments, please share them, good or bad. I have a very small ego.
@Gary: FYI: The Badge List says that I have 5 badges to unlock. Actually I have 8 badges to unlock (4 MLS pending badges, 2 Health Month badges, Circus Circus badge & #4sqDay 2012 badge). Perhaps your minions can fix it, thanks! One more thing, this is just an amateur question. What is different between inactive badges & retired badges (eg. XPERIA badges are in active & WSJ badges are retired). Does it mean that those badges are inactive now have a chance to be reactivated later? Thanks again man!
@SyarifSArman@choad17 I have found the problem and fixed the code with the badges count needed being off by three.
@SyarifSArman Retired indicates it has been marked 'Retired' by Foursquare. Inactice indicates the badge has not been unlocked and is the next level from being retired.
@choad17 The showing of non-unlocked retired badges is planned for the near future.
@Gary my badges to unlock currently says -1. Also, can you add a filter that you can turn on or off for the badges that are "Not Available" (the college badges)?
