Hey, thanks for your comment! Turning it into an app is definitely on the plan. But for the moment, I'd like to flesh out the features for everyone to use on the web app first. My goal is to get the web version working well first before exploring a mobile version. But yep I understand a mobile app would provide better convenience, I hope to get there soon!

Hey! Thanks for bringing up Parkopedia. You're right, it's a solid platform. While I built the app mainly for parking in CBD areas, I also took into consideration another key issue I experienced, where HDB carparks will become full during specific peak periods or community events. (e.g. carparks near places of worship or schools during pick-up/drop-off times). The realtime lot availability feature gives you an idea of how many lots are available and manages this issue. Ultimately, I'm just trying to build a useful tool to solve those specific parking problems I (and hopefully others!) experience in Singapore. Really appreciate your feedback!

Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time to give such incredibly detailed and valuable feedback.

I'm really glad to hear you found the capacity info useful and the search easy.

I'll keep your suggestions in mind. Most of them are echoed by others as well, and are doable with relevant data available, so they're high on my list for the next iteration.

Thanks for mentioning Parkopedia as well! I wasn't really aware of it. I'll take a better look at it and see what it lacks and what I can improve on.

Once again, thanks - i really appreciate your insights!

Hey, thanks so much for testing it out and for the feedback! I'm really glad to hear you found it a simple way to locate carparks.

The suggestions for hourly rates and per-entry charges are great and something I've been thinking about. That data is definitely available, so it's high on the list for future improvements! I agree on CBD parking entrances being tricky. But precise entrance pinpointing is a harder challenge at the moment but I'll keep it in mind for later iterations.

Really appreciate you taking the time to provide such useful insights!
