It's fair enough that people will rate according to their expectations.

Curt, even surly service is pretty much trademark for Chinese/Vietnamese restaurants in my mind. I find the notion of "good service" actually a little overbearing sometimes honestly


The best servers are there when you need them, are paying attention so you rarely have to wait or wave, and are wonderfully absent when you do not need them. The manager coming 'round to confirm quality of service is a bad sign (new place or struggling). Surly should never enter the picture unless it's a theme restaurant based on belittling the customers.


Yeah, the team makeup is the interesting aspect for me. It seems they took an existing mobile engineering team and had them integrate react native.

Our experience was opposite in that we had a web/js team and decided to go to react native as a way to deal with a mobile app that we couldn't maintain well (and couldn't justify the hiring of dedicated devs for).

React native gave us an avenue to utilise existing skills and overall we found it pretty positive.


Is there a places type autocomplete equivilent for mapbox? I can't see anything in their services list



I'm just starting a side project that uses similar, i think it's the pricing around autocomplete and places information that seems like the most painful part to me.

Currently I'm using it to search and add points on a map, it seems like it could really add up


There are a few free alternatives to Google:

arcgis has a free place suggestions API: https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/geocode/api-reference/geo...

OpenCageData is pretty good for geocoding with a good free tier.

My company https://stadiamaps.com does map tiles at very generous tiers.


Thanks for the suggestions! Will definitely have a look
