I love food and I love travel. Naturally I decided to compile a list of all the best restaurants in the world. Still very much a work-in-progress but would love to get feedback.
1. It's a map of "the best", so maybe the default filter shouldn't show "ok" recommendations
2. The numbers on the pins change regularly (I'm on mobile/Firefox). Maybe the pin could indicate the source of the review, or the quality, or the restaurant type? Or not have the number at all.
3. Moving the map around reloads the pins for the viewed area, but it sometimes loads a different set of pins for a big city. Is there a max number of pins being loaded on each map view change? If so, perhaps the max should be higher?
Hope that helps!
2/3. I was experimenting with numeric pins but have now switched back to pins which vary by size depending on the restaurant awards. I also increased the pin count to 50 by default. Can you try it again and see if it feels more intuitive?
The pin count increase has improved the situation, but it's still noticeable. I'm using Vancouver/CA as the test if that helps.
I'd love to add bloggers but it seems quite difficult to automate and I want to minimize how much manual work this project requires.
Similarly I'd love to include all the chefs and track which restaurant they're at now but I haven't found a good way to automate this.
Bookmarked and will use!
If you want to monetize it, setup ads and a "adblock" detection script.
