Would love to play with it in Toronto - hope it gets here soon!
@mluskind - Absolutely. Phasing out launch as you might imagine.
+1 you should start taking email sign-ups. Would be nice to get notified when it expands to this market.

#12The rise of SMS based apps is very real. This one looks cool though. Would love to try it when/if it rolls out to Los Angeles.
is this the return of smarterchild?

@dumbfounder - it crawls data for its recommendations. In order to maintain quality and make sure it's useful, I've limited its scope for the time being. More locations are coming soon!
FYI, you can use Factual.com to get location data for all kinds of businesses. You'll still need to source reviews from somewhere else, but this might be a useful way of ensuring you have good coverage. (disclaimer: I work at Factual, but a) I'm commenting as an individual, not representing the company; b) I genuinely think this is a good choice for you; c) for a small app like this, the data will likely be free, so…
That's a great suggestion @donall. I'm already crawling the web for information and not just reviews, but the location database would be awesome. Is there a specific class of program you guys have for free data?

Great idea. In fact, you could sign up right now - and get notified via your phone/email when it launches too. There will soon be non-location specific functionality available.

#15Thought I'd share what I've been working on for some time. Would love feedback! It uses Deep learning models for natural language. Happy to answer tech related questions here. Just a note: It's limited to San Francisco only for now - and it's still in Alpha - there will be kinks!
Really cool work - nice going! Great application of Deep Leaning.
I'm really curious about the Whatsapp and Facebook messenger integration, given that they don't seem to have published APIs. How did you do it?

From what I understand, it's not that they are integrated. Those apps allow to send and receive SMS. In doing so, they can simply send the queries via SMS on those apps, allowing to receive the result there.
Edit: I was wrong!

#17I just asked Myra for a breakfast suggestion, and she told me to go to a laser hair removal specialist... don't think it's quite ready.

#18Just a small design note: the white on green is pretty hard to read. (Maybe it's just my monitor or I'm getting old.) I'm assuming that image goes a long way to explain how it works, so legibility is paramount.

Ditto for Iowa!

Thanks for the feedback! Absolutely - that was actually a screenshot from the iphone messages app. I tried to replace green with blue with not the best results :) Ive introduced the "Examples" section at the bottom though.
