Show HN: Randomly Select Where to eat lunch
- bopf 11y agovery cool little tool for when our team cannot decide where to go to lunch again :). Love it and hunted it on Product Hunt .. hope it makes it to the homepage -- on the upcoming list now.. http://www.producthunt.com/upcoming http://www.producthunt.com/upcoming
- hrayr 11y agoHeh, this is fun, good job on shipping. It seems like implementing a lunch picking app is a right of passage for most startups. Is there a compiled list of start-ups and their own implementation of a lunch picking apps?
- kayman 11y agoI have seen lunch picking apps out there, created by developers. Lots of them were backend centric or filled with ads or using flash. List of Lunch Picker Apps I've found: - http://wheelof.com/lunch/ http://wheelof.com/lunch/ ( Flash) - https://github.com/darrenmce/lunch-picker https://github.com/darrenmce/lunch-picker Have to edit lunches in code. - http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/lunch-picker/6e713077-6663-42ab-a528-2c01c54540aa http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/lunch-picker/6e7... App for windows phone Initially, it seemed like a good idea to get closest lunch locations based on location or yelp reviews/rations, but issue is fetching yelp results was taking too long. From personal experience, most of the time when you want to decide where to go for lunch, you already have a few places in mind that fit your budget and style. You just don't know where to go again and want to outsource the decision to a tool.
- vortico 11y agoI was hoping upon seeing the title that it would select restaurants from Google Maps near your location and choose one at random. That would actually be a really good idea.
