#2It’s not too often this comes up ... but here is an iOS app for finding drinking water fountains and public restrooms using Overpass’s OSM API.

#3This seems very useful but shouldn't it be called "N Y Pee"?

#4Didn't George Costanza make millions with this app idea, only to lose it to Madoff?
Also, NY bathroom pro-tip: look for the local police precinct. They will always have public bathrooms, they exist all over NY, even in the more residential areas with no shops, and the type of people who go and destroy public bathrooms or shoot up drugs in them for hours usually aren't going to voluntarily walk into a police station.

That’s an excellent idea!

That's right, and not only in New York or in the USA, you'd be able to find public bathrooms in many police stations across the globe.

#7There’s a great similar app called runPee geared more towards movie goers and what happens during the film while you step out.
Neat concept.

#8Neat. I've been holding onto a domain thronehunter.com, for 10 years now, after a stint at a startup in a downtown metro, where the office was a very small "loft" with 10+ people squeezed in.
Myself and a few others fairly quickly had an aversion to using the lone bathroom in the loft for respectful reasons and instead began seeking out bathrooms at nearby hotels and elsewhere. We would often joke "hey I'm going to run to the Hilton, I'll be right back" or "has anyone checked if the Mariott is open?".
I bought the domain thinking it'd be fun to build a bathroom finder/rating app but never got around to it!

#9The HN crowd loves to promote urbanization, density, blah blah blah. The fact that such an app exists at all is de facto proof of a failed city. Just a comic level of dysfunction. "NYC, we're so progressive we can't even address the basic requirements to support human life"

I was gonna say, call the app “Costanza”.
