I made a webpage that suggests things to do near you, can I get some feedback?
- 0x47 16y agoIs this useful to anyone? Should I pursue this further? I was thinking of adding some kind of shared event calendar. What direction should I take this HN?
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoI don't get it. There's a spinning logo, a generic platitude, and a button that makes the inane comment change. I don't see how in any way it's making a useful suggestion for something to do near me. Am I missing something?
- 0x47 16y agoOh yeah, it's supposed to load up a list of places near you. What browser/OS are you using? Perhaps this won't work because you aren't in the US.

- 0x47 16y agoYeah, I don't know why it doesn't work. I use the location and region to give results instead of something country specific like zipcode. I guess if google local doesn't have anything in that area it kind of ruins it. :(
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoAt the time I tried it I was using Chrome on Windows XP, and I'm based in the UK.
- andrewtbham 16y agoi am assuming you are using ip address to find where i am and pull in suggestions from google. seems like the suggestions all fall into a category, like movies, fair, restaurants. you could add vote up buttons to get better data? also facebook integration... to see what your friends might like. it's an interesting idea for sure.
- 0x47 16y agothanks for the feedback! I'm actually getting the location data from google itself. I like the facebook integration idea, and was thinking of doing something with their checkin feature? Don't they have something that lets you say: "I'm here!"?
- andrewtbham 16y agoyeh facebook has a checkin feature... foursquare and lots of those sites have apis also.
