FLWFinder
FLWFinder was a PQA (Palm Query Application, also known as "Web Clipping Application") for looking up the addresses of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed buildings from any PalmOS handheld with an internet connection. The backend consisted of a set of PHP scripts which in turn accessed a MySQL database. Users could search for the addresses of nearby Wright buildings in the United States by city, state, or zip code. When available, directions, hours, and admission fees were also provided for Wright structures open to the public. Additionally, there was a screen allowing user submissions of buildings not in the database. Because I released FLWFinder as a completely free piece of software that did nothing but positively promote the legacy of Wright’s architecture, I didn’t think anything of using the initials FLW or the name Frank Lloyd Wright in the name or content of the project. Nevertheless, shortly after its release I was contacted by the Frank Lloyd Wright foundation and asked to immediately take it offline.
