It’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. https://github.com/hashFactory/ImThirsty

Ah I've wanted something like this for ages. Do you know of anything similar for Android?
There's an underserved market in SF, too. I'd pay cash money for a regularly updated restroom finder. Best of luck! EDIT: どうもありがとう! Just saw the Hirigana on the landing page. My Japanese partner and I have been lamenting the failure of public restroom availability compared to JP. Heck, even compared to the US 2 decades ago when gas stations allowed public access to their restrooms.

I live in Tokyo and previously lived in New York. I was back visiting last week and found it even harder to find bathrooms now that many tourist centric places closed. I ended up buying a lot of hot tea at various starbucks locations throughout the day just for the bathrooms. 頑張って OPさん. Your contact button doesn’t work, by the way.
7 years ago we had Airpnp... same as Airbnb, just for toilets. https://thenextweb.com/news/airpnp-its-like-airbnb-but-for-t...
But seriously, this is an underrated problem. As a runner and someone who drinks a lot of water I wish there were more public restrooms. Even johns are ok
As a foodie, one of the most frustrating things is answering nature's unexpected calls, this App is a foodie's 911. My to-go app is https://goweewee.com or just type 'wc' on Google Map
The 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"

Part of the problem in NYC is any time you offer any kind of community utility/service it invariably gets taken over by the homeless population. Benches become beds, libraries become bedrooms, cell phone charging stations become encampments.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Almost sounds like the bigger and more complex issue is homelessness rather than people with homes not being able to find a convenient bathroom.
