First of all thanks for taking time to check it. On Google Map, yes you type "restaurants in San Francisco" and it will give you all the restaurants on the area. On my web app, you only need to type the location "San Francisco" and it will give you all the nearest restaurants on the area once you click the radiobutton for restaurants under "Show Nearest" options. Ok now here's the difference, say you want to search in another location like in "Manila,Philippines", in Google Maps (assuming you don't wanna drag or scroll the map to find "Manila, Philippines") so you need to retype again "Restaurants In Manila" but on my web app the moment you start typing it will retrieve immediately all the nearest restaurants on the suggested location until you finish typing the whole world "Manila". Then if you change your mind again and want to check out nearest restaurants in "London" it will retrieve all the nearest restaurants on the suggested location until you reach London. Hence you don't need to retype again and again "Restaurants in #somewhere#".Anyway, the single purpose of my app is to find the nearest interesting point for the user assuming he/she knows the location but in Google Maps I think it's more of a general purpose since you can use it in whatever way you want like for browsing the world, driving directions etc.
Are you overthinking it - if I'm looking at restaurants in San Francisco, chances of me wanting to look at them in London or Philippines at the same time? I'm also a fast typer, so don't see it as a major burden myself... I'll have another play later
I hope you tried it but it's a web app where you can quickly browse the location on the map with instant suggestions. Once you press enter ,it'll give you the current weather on that location. Then if you choose to know the nearest churches, clinics, hospitals etc. it also provide you. Keep browsing or moving the map and it will update the nearest points you choose. I think its a great way to quickly find out the nearest restaurants, bars etc on a certain area.
Like a week ago, I submitted this weekend project of mine for critique. So I submitted it again to know if I did an improvement or made it worse. Sorry if I ask again but I don't know any site that is as reliable as HN to critique a web app. If you do, please direct me to it too.
I have no place to go for such a good place to critique my website so I made some changes. I work alone so I have nobody to ask if I'm heading on a right path for this so please tell me what do you think, did I make it worst or ok? Please don't get mad if I posted this again, I just have nobody to ask.
I know I submitted this before but I haven't had any reactions or feedback so I'll try this again. This is a personal project of mine that I did during my free time. I'm kind of not sure of the design/ui so I would like some expert insight from you guys. Can this be a helpful tool to you? Thanks in advance for your time.
