Could you build this?
Partial A web interface showing places is simple, but building an unbiased, accurate quality scoring system independent of commercial ads requires aggregating and de-biasing massive local place datasets.
What it would actually take: The backend requires integrating APIs like OpenStreetMap, Google Places, or Foursquare, alongside web scrapers to gather authentic reviews. The complex element is creating a proprietary ranking algorithm that filters review fraud, normalizes walking distance algorithms, and computes reliable quality scores without relying on paid vendor data feeds.
