I like it. Does it work all over the country? I thought of doing a similar thing, but it seemed difficult to scrape this type of data from the Internet. If it's not your secret sauce I'd love to know how you're gathering the happy hour data.
- noelchurchill 17y agoI've gathered about 7,300 happy hours from around the US. The trick I've found is that a lot of the data around the internet is outdated, but it's a good starting point. The app allows users to mark happy hours as outdated and users are also able to suggest new happy hours as well. So hopefully over time the database will evolve into a very current list, and everyone will get to benefit.
- aminuit 17y agoSmart. Are you planning to charge for it? What about recurring vs. non-recurring specials? I'm looking forward to trying it out.
- noelchurchill 17y agoI plan on making it a free app for the first few thousand downloads, measuring what cities are most popular, and making sure the happy hour data is most up to date in those areas. After that I'm still deciding if it makes more sense to charge for the app, or implement some other revenue model (ads, additional ways for bars and restaurants to promote themselves, etc).
