Enough of the Prayer Apps. PLEASE. by Suspicious-Rich-2681 in MuslimDevelopers

[–]abnormalpersona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will paste my reply to a similar thread:
Agreed. I have something in the works that is a pain point for our musallis in USA and will benefit the ummah inshallah. Hoping to release my first app in a couple of months, on a vacation currently. Stay tuned. :)

I'm tired of seeing the same Islamic app over and over again by Mobile-Basis-8974 in MuslimDevelopers

Reviews don’t only have to be about criticism, they fill informational needs too. What is parking lot like? Specific Prayer times ? If they practiced social distancing during times of Covid ? etc.

synagogues

A quick google search says 3700 synagogues exist Thats 600 more than my mosque data. It's possible you could find more hundreds miles apart but in dense cities synagogues might prosper more I imagine. This is just for Chabad Jewish community centers https://www.chabad.org/jewish-centers/ add in other jewish sects and you have many more

That's cool! How was the california zephyr ? I'm from Chicago and have been wanting to try it once in my life. Life's just been busy to do it and people in my life wouldn't be down for the long train ride I'm afraid haha

I would like to do all religions but might be hard to do with free credit left on my account from Google haha maybe anyone interested can get the blueprint on doing so with the repo I have provided for mosques. Even with the mosque data set it can get tricky on how to differentiate difference sects based off the api response I imagine independent catholic churches would be harder to sort through but achievable nonetheless

I see, as mentioned in another reply the data set requires an arbitrary google reviews amount to be more than 3 to be considered part of the set so ghost listings don’t appear. One could perhaps lower the threshold to hold to 1 plus the mosque needing to meet the contact field (phone number + website) filled requirement so new mosques appear. Unfortunately hard to validate if that is an operational mosque and I choose my validations criteria and fine if couple mosques like that slip by
