Yup! Definitely something I've been thinking about

Working on my website that can heatmap cities based on your lifestyle preferences. https://theretowhere.com It currently supports complex heatmaps based on travel time (e.g. close …

I was in Korea during the Kakao fire incident and thought it was astounding that they had no failovers. However, I thought it'd be a wake up call! I guess not.

Still working on https://theretowhere.com , which is a website that makes it easier to find apartments and hotels/airbnbs close to people and activities you care about. The past co…

I have a user script that just hides the LinkedIn feed. It's quite blissful.

You don't have to add them in manually - the heatmap interface supports "Open searches", where you can add in pins for a bunch of locations at a time based on a query (like "bakeri…

Currently thinking about better ways to spread the word about https://theretowhere.com (my website that makes it easier to find apartments and Airbnbs/hotels close to things you ca…

That's fair. You can probably hack that experience by making use of the "rules" feature. You can have certain search engines or macros launch automatically upon pressing enter base…

I built a portal that makes it easier to query against multiple different search engines ( https://allsear.ch/ ). It's open source, free, all that. I must say, building it really e…

This was meant to be a weekend project and ended up taking a liiiittle longer (only a couple more weekends haha). Difftastic ( https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic ) is a popular …

Still working on https://theretowhere.com since I announced it to HN in February. It's an website who's goal is to make it easier to find apartments/hotels/etc that fit your housin…

This is super cool - I definitely have a lot to learn from this. I can probably use this for my project theretowhere.com Kudos!

I missed this comment! > Central Park OR Prospect Park OR Brooklyn Bridge Park OR Fort Greene Park You can do this, actually. I kinda explain that here: https://news.ycombinator.co…

Noted, thanks! > If I put the same thing in two different criteria (with different settings), it says the heatmap parameters are invalid. That's odd, since the website does not dif…

That's fair! See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42978067

Ah, you probably tried to search before the website got your location (so it couldn't bias your search). I'll make this an impossible state, thanks for bringing this up.

This is possible! I should probably make the UX better. When you're on the heatmap page (or the distance matrix page), look at the top right of the screen. It shows you where it's …

Hello! To echo what loxias said, it is possible to make queries like this on the heatmap. You can use the "Search Nearby places" button - this takes in more general queries (like c…

It can! I can overlay with Zillow, Apartments.com and Streeteasy https://theretowhere.com/we-got-an-extension-babyyyy

Yeah, different geo analysis providers have different weightings for travel time (turns, street density, etc). It can sometimes lead to inconsistencies like this, especially if the…

The "grocery store" problem is something I've been thinking about for a while, since it has two problems: - There are tons of grocery stores (efficiency of processing all of those)…

I have a v2 of that algorithm coming this weekend! I expect it to make it MUCH faster :)

That actually is possible Heatmaps are split into criteria, and each of those criteria can contain multiple places. The criteria are OR clauses between any of the places, and the h…

For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care abou…
