Show HN: Find nearby spots based on how crowded they might be
- mtmail 8y agoUser can search with Google Places and the website then adds the data (opening times, phone number) from Google Places to its own database? That would be against Google's terms of service https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/policies https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/policies "you must not pre-fetch, cache, index, or store any Content except under the limited conditions stated in the terms."
- quasimoto 8y agoHey! Thanks for the feedback! Yes, this is how it works, but it's not vital for the site purpose, so if it is against their terms maybe i'll need to make users input this data making it even more real, since it's not what the store says, but what the people are seeing. How would you go around this ?
- rcar1046 8y agoGetting an error on the geolocation service in Google maps at the bottom and everything appears to be in Uruguay. Not sure if Uruguay is the base for this. Cool idea though. I'd actually use this, but for the inverse...to find where people aren't.
- quasimoto 8y agoHey! Thanks for your feedback. I started building it to find the less crowded places to get some work done or get some coffee fast haha. I'm building the site from Uruguay right now, so most of the people trying it out are here. Geolocation can fail if you are not allowing geolocation services for your browser or operating system, or if you don't allow it on the site itself. When geolocation fails, the site can't find the nearest places, but you can search them and when you add a spot you can select from a (still growing) list of cities.
