- samrus 8mo agoCool app. But the actual value is attention. To replace google maps for resteraunt doscovery, you need to be big in the attention market. Unfortunately good engineering alone doesnt do that, you need marketing/product
- jareklupinski 8mo agothanks :) it was built rly for me/family/friends, but it costs nothing to run (lives on the same server as my portfolio) doesnt have to be a hit, just has to exist i hope
- chvid 8mo agonice app - how do you find those who are not on google?
- jareklupinski 8mo agothank you! in nyc, every restaurant must be licensed and pass a health inspection to operate, so i pulled in all of the health inspection reports :) yay open data
- bigwheeler 8mo agoThis is super cool, thanks for sharing it!
- jmkb 8mo agoThanks, this is a really fun way to view the data. I don't think the no-google/no-yelp filters will really accomplish this goal though. Most of the ones I examined were either variations in the restaurant name or not really restaurants (gas station convenience store, hotel with breakfast, catering LLC with no storefront, etc.) The google and yelp datasets in NYC are really quite good.
