Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Google Maps, OpenStreetMap (OSM)
Concerns raised: Data accuracy issues, especially with multi-state city names (Redmond WA vs OR), Font is too small and hard to read, Password requirement (3-20 characters) for voting feels like dark pattern, Incomplete gym listings in some regions (France gyms missing)
Feature requests: Filter by smell categories (e.g., 'Smells Like Ass' vs 'Smells Like Balls'), Slider for bicycle parking instead of just car parking checkbox, Better geographic disambiguation for cities with same names across states, Increase font size for readability, Feed data into OpenStreetMap with appropriate metadata tags
