Website Completed!
It's not done, but it's fully functional at this point,
The website has reached a point where I consider it finished. While there may still be a few glitches here and there, overall, the functionality aligns with my original vision.
However, one key feature that's missing is the ability for the community to add new establishments. Right now, only I can add them, and the community can comment, rate, or mark the establishments I create as favorites. I want to change this so that the community can create new establishments themselves, as well as update and edit existing ones.
I need some time to figure out the best way to implement this feature. Therefore, I'm moving it to the upcoming features list.
Upcoming Features
• Community creation and editing of establishments
• Ability to edit or delete comments (currently, comments are permanent once posted).
• Map view of establishments with integration of your current position into the map
Now, let me explain the "Closest to me" feature, which you can find on both the establishments page and your favorites page. Here's how it works:
Every establishment has a GPS location associated with it. If your GPS location can be determined, the site calculates a straight-line distance between your location and the establishment’s. This is not the actual driving distance, it's the as the crow flies distance.
To use this feature, you'll need to enable location sharing on your device:
On PCs, this is fairly simple. When the site asks for your location, just say yes. If you initially denied permission and want to change it, click here (for Google Chrome; other browsers are similar):
Then, slide "Location" to "On."
The process should be similar on mobile, but I've noticed some bugs, and I'm working on improving its accuracy. At the very least, I may add a page where you can manually input your current GPS location. The site will store this information until you update it again, and then it will calculate which establishments are closest to you.
That’s all for now. I'll keep adding new establishments and working on the upcoming site updates I've mentioned.
