Reviews are coming from Google directly. I'll likely add OpenTable reviews as well since I feel their content quality is quite high. I'd love to add bloggers but it seems quite dif…

I see what you mean now. This has become an interesting experiment in UX. I updated the platform to leave any previous pins on the map (even if they're no longer in the top 50 resu…

1. Agreed, I'll likely hide them by default. The results from Gayot/Eater are incredibly noisy, and I doubt most people are interested in seeing restaurants from Gayot's "Top 10 do…

So glad to hear that! After building the V1, I was similarly surprised by how many new restaurants I was able to instantly discover. Even found a few spots which I'm tempted to tra…

Thanks! I struggled with the same problems. Existing search tools make it difficult to discover high-quality restaurants (either via poor UI, lack of granular filters, or low quali…

https://mapofthebest.com I love food and I love travel. Naturally I decided to compile a list of all the best restaurants in the world. Still very much a work-in-progress but would…

What are some of your favorites? I'd love to add them. So far I've only added whichever bars I've spotted at healthy food stores over the past few months (in Singapore, Australia, …

Thanks for the kind words! Technically it's nothing to write home about. It's a Frankenstein's monster combination of vanilla CSS/JS stitched together with whatever random third-pa…

Not sure if this entirely fits here, but I made BarsPro for my own benefit and wanted to share in case it's valuable to others. Energy and protein bars have been a huge part of my …

Hi HN, I spent the last few weeks aggregating and playing with covid data. This is a compilation of my favorite data visualizations, along with multiple customization options for e…

Unfortunately the existing public data sets I've seen lack this information. The level of detail for each confirmed case is largely dependent on which country is reporting the data…

You make a very good point about risk communication. I already had to make a few updates (e.g. hiding the mortality rate) that were causing unnecessary panic. I'll work on optimizi…

I recently had to deal with this problem when building out Covidly (www.covidly.com) Initially I tried using WHO and JHU, but quickly found their data to be riddled with discrepanc…

For a site focused on "clarity", I sure didn't make the formula very clear :) I will work on clarifying it on the website. The formula is a combination of: 40% - new cases / total …

Great question - I have heard both of the options you mentioned as possible explanations for the decline of new cases. Personally I like to give countries the benefit of the doubt.…

Very good point - the attribution has been added. Thanks!
