Hey there! Totally get why asking for location might seem odd. But my original intention was actually fun - I wanted to show region-specific content like:
"while couples in Bangalore are stuck in traffic trying to reach their dinner reservations, you're chilling at home saving ₹4,000 on surge pricing".
I had this whole regional data system idea with:
- Local currency symbols (₹, $, £) and their positions (prefix/suffix)
- Region-specific alternative activities (like "Chai pe charcha with yourself" for India or "Pub quiz champion" for UK or something)
- Cultural references that hit different in each place ("Netflix & biryani" vs "Netflix & tea")
- Even Valentine's costs broken down by region!
Hope this makes sense! :-)
