Thank you! =)

Thank you! You are right on the money =) I guess my intention are some shock value and differentiator that makes us stand out against all other crowdsource services. I thought under $10 meal these days would be considered very affortable in most states. We do have parameter to change it up to $14 and we might increase that ceiling later.

I am really considering restaurant sponsors. As long as money goes into the community support mission, it will actually work better this way. (sustainable growth)

I hope so too, Google goes after any name that remind people of their name with similar service.. so Froogal / Foogle map was off the table.. but I love the name, I wish I can use it T-T

Thank you, that is the plan!

its supported!

gotta give it a shot!

now you can!

Thank you! Yes, I have link for feedback in community tab! I respond within a day =)

yes, we need some standard for even comparison purposes.

I have used Google API / Yelp AP and filtered them rigorously.. Most of them I personally found and updated by researching. AND prices is always increasing.. like almost every month. That's the season we are living in, constant inflation T-T

So that is my biggest task, how to keep the prices fresh. So many good suggestions made from this forum which is super helpful =)

O this is the tricky part, each region have different currency standards.. we need to really think this thorough

Thank you =) will do!

I used Google API / Yelp API to get top food reviewed places (4.2 star and 500+ reviews) and let used Claude API to review individual listing and menus twice. Google API has free API offered when you first start ($300) so you can try it out!

No problem, it was only for my initial seed data. I just set hard requirement so I don't have any "bad" recommandation for users coming in. There are no limit for user submission at this time =)

Thank you! You are the second person who said email would not come.. can you share what email service you used so I can check it myself as well? (I tried twice using my alias emails, and it worked both times)

Food delivery option and fees will be added to dev que!

NodeJS + React + TypeScript + Tailwind on vercel, locations are cached, and we are using google maps api and data. It is expensive.. but I think its most polished and familiar with useres (better user experience)

Wow, thank you. Yes, we do have data validation and limit amount of update new users can do, but I should definitely think ahead to set some healthy boudaries.

Thank you for your thoughful and thorough suggestions. Really appreciate it, to be honest last 24 hours has been just overwhelmingly blissful with thankfulness. I was working on this for 3 month after layoff and this is first real traction I got on this website, so it means a lot.

Thank you for adding the spot, and I hope if more people start using the app, people will update prices naturally and also encourage restaurant owners to update by themselve as well.

I looked into API update method, but a lot of API pricing are based on delivery app prices.. which are higher than their regular menu price, so decided not to use them for now. Maybe there is another API we can utilize down the road?

That was wrong detail set as vietnamese, because this coffee shop sells vietnamese sandwitches. Fixed it to "Sandwitch"!

Wow, I didn't know about this app and you are right. This is perfectly in line with what we are trying to do. We do have same share feature, but should add that more clearly. Love their design on mobile device, few things I can learn from them. Thank you for sharing!

Yap, most are just with water unless specifiied. (like 2 pizza + drink = $6.99

Thank you so much for trying it out. I will add drag and drop on desktop browser and choose sticky zone on map.

For issue #1, did you try to search by restaurant name? If it is not resturant name or address.. it will not popualte.

Yes, this is #1 homework this week to solve. How do we define equal standard for all food types?

Thank you! I like the name too, but it has slight negative connotation so businesses might not like them.. but thats the part I like about the it

Yes, I like this name too. But they will get us if we go major.

I liked Fooglemap (Googlemap + Food) and Slickmeals (like slickdeals) all very dangerous down the road if we ever become major. They will send cease and decease letter through their lawyer

Thank you! I like the name too, but it has some negative connotation so businesses might not like them.. but thats the part I like about the name.

valuefoodie sounds good!

Thank you! Next.JS + TypeScript + Tailwind on Vercel.

1. Tailwind with a deliberately tiny palette. One accent color, system-ish fonts, defaults for almost everything else.

2. A mascot covers a multitude of sins. Chip the chipmunk shows up everywhere — badges, avatars, empty states, link preview cards.

3. I iterate UI with Claude Code in a tight loop: describe what feels off, look at the render, adjust, repeat. My job is judging the result, not pixel-pushing.

4. Steal layouts shamelessly from apps you already like. For utility apps, original layout is a liability — users want familiar.

so many options!

I have... like 10 now haha
