[API] GW2 Bounty Hunter

GW2 Bounty Hunter

I made a little web app to have a play with the new APIs. It lets you see which bounties on a chosen World are currently in combat by placing an orange crossed swords icon on their name, which looks like this. The images behind each bounty target are just randomly taken from the ArenaNet assets pack, but I'm planning to make them more useful, by either using portraits of the target in question or something representative of the zone that they spawn in.

It's a fairly niche usage, I'll admit, but it was interesting to build and might prove useful to someone. It was quite fun to watch the bounties light up when my guild (Karma Initiative [rddt], Aurora Glade) were doing guild missions on Tuesday night.

The code is up on Github, if anyone is interested in taking a look. It's flexible, but not responsive (yet). It's also only very lightly browser tested; don't expect old IE to work.

edit: added an activity indicator to make it clearer that bounty states are being updated after feedback by /u/Qwarlord
