Some things I noticed: The list is fairly short (70 activities total). Once filtered it would be easier to simply display all matching activities. Many of the "Low" cost activities have significant upfront costs. I wouldn't describe Archery as "low cost", nor describe Astronomy or a board game night as Free activities! It was easier just to read the raw JSON than browse the site. ( The activities are https://www.what…

I kinda like that it shows only one activity at a time. If one doesn't like it, they can always spin for a new one. Makes it better than the typical, google seo farmed lists. Also, let's you focus on one and make a decision. In regards to the costs, again, what's low cost for one might be different for another.

Thanks for the feedback! It is short yes, mostly because I didn't want to spend more time on it before showing it to somebody. If the feedback is positive I'll add more.

And about the categories, I hear you, but take it with a grain of salt, those depends on many factor…

I'd remove "Try CBD" and "Space Cake" once you've got more options. The latter is still illegal in many places and for the former is just gauche.
