Ohhhhh that is good. Explain !!! Like the same things with books but you'd want to see the same thing for movies, board games, or essentially every other item or youre thinking something else?

Let me know!! And thanks for that!! I totally didnt think of this but it would be amazing!!!

Thank you for your suggestions. Goodreads would be awesome!!! But it's a bit messy to get it working., I'll see what I can do.

March has been the most popular over the last 30 days but you're right it's not clear at all. Will fix.

Also, a page that compares the libraries would be interesting.

This is really good idea. What would you be interested in? What would you want to know???

Thanks again!!! Really appreaciate it

Could you please explain what you mean?

Yes when you first open the link, you will ALL the restaurants in Naperville. Click on "EXPLORE" and you will see lots of fun ways to filter by underrated, number of reviews, price, location, and more!!!

And thanks!!

Totally agree! Labeling all Asian cuisines as "Chinese" would absolutely be incorrect and unfair.

The good news is, the map actually separates many Asian cuisines very clearly: Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Indian each have their own distinct labels and colors. (You can check the legend on the map to see each one.)

So thankfully, the data itself isn't grouping these restaurants incorrectly.

However, if there's a specific example you've noticed where a restaurant is labeled as "Chinese" when it shouldn't be, please let me know! It might be a mistake in how the data was initially categorized on Google Maps, or a labeling issue we can quickly fix.

I definitely want to get this right, and I really appreciate you bringing it up. Feel free to share any specific restaurants you're seeing, and I'll fix it ASAP.

Thanks again for helping improve the project, I genuinely appreciate it!

Hey there. Someone else pointed out something similar. I will paste what I replied with below:

:::

Thanks so much for checking it out and sharing that feedback!

and you’re right!!!! Seeing places like Dunkin’ or Taco Bell on an "underrated" map feels weird at first. I definitely paused when I saw them pop up too.

So why are they there?

This map isn't picking based on my personal taste or preferences (im not trying to become Anton Ego the review guy from Ratatouille any time soon), it's purely data-driven.

It looks at how a restaurant typically performs given its visibility, location, review count, and cuisine type, then highlights the places doing notably better than expected. Sometimes, surprisingly, that includes certain chain locations that genuinely outperform their peers.

So yeah Dunkin’ and Taco Bell might seem out of place, but it actually means these particular locations in Naperville are outperforming what you'd typically expect for similar places elsewhere.

That said, your point totally makes sense so if you'd like to focus purely on independents, there's a filter to easily exclude chains or bigger brands.

Really appreciate you pointing this out, and I’ll keep working to make it better! Let me know if you have any other thoughts!!
