#12Congrats to this great idea! Love it.
The ones around my place all use EDH, which also has a map feature, but not as intuitive as this! Reminds me of vici.org

#13This is really wonderful -- One thing that may be really cool if you have the data is to add a time-axis ability (unless I missed it) for a given location. This is such a delightful application of AI!

#20Yo. This is tuff. Curious tho, is your database free or did you have to scrape it from somewhere?
