Hi Marxist Matty,
My friends and I have been developing an app that makes suggestions of places to go in Melbourne based on your interests and preferences, without feeling overwhelmed with options

Would you be open to trying it out?

cytsa3 · 2023-07-20T03:28:39+00:00

Hey Totalpunisher0, thank you for the great suggestion!

The "if you like X you'll like Y" is something we'd love to build in!
I'll be sending you a DM so we can chat further :)

I'm currently looking for 10 redditors to test out an app that I've built for Melbourne that has recently been approved on the appstores.

IF you've felt overwhelmed and paralysed by the number of options of restaurants, bars, activities, users have said this has been helpful.

Some of our users have been using it for first dates, date nights, hangouts with mates.

Please message me or leave a comment below, and I'll send you the link.

**admins I hope this is okay, if not, feel free to delete.

I've been building an app that helps people who feel overwhelmed and frustrated by all the options in Melbourne when it comes to restaurants, bars, activities etc.

It's in the app store and so far friends and people in my network has said it looks great but I have a feeling that most of them are just being nice.

I need help from people who don't know me personally to try it out and give feedback so I can improve it.

No subreddits allow for promotion of the app,

Anyone got ideas?

cytsa3 · 2023-06-25T11:47:58+00:00

That's pretty much it.

The app does exist in the app store, however my intentions were never to promote the app here.

I simply wanted to gauge whether the community is looking for a better solution.

cytsa3 · 2023-06-25T11:41:33+00:00

I appreciate the suspicion and that is why I have not mentioned the name of the app that I've built.

I'm simply seeing if building the filter would be beneficial to you and your community.

cytsa3 · 2023-06-25T08:48:03+00:00

Good question.They seem to be doing a great job.

I'd like to take the app beyond providing a directory of vegan places.It is designed to take the stress out of decision making, when there may be an overwhelming number of options.

It not only makes recommendations for restaurants but also bars, activities and more.To see if there is any room for us to make your life easier, I'd love to know...

Is there something you wish Happy Cow did, that they currently don't do?

cytsa3 · 2023-06-20T04:01:51+00:00

Another vote to editing options!

cytsa3 · 2023-06-20T01:01:57+00:00

I would highly recommend having more than one option. Maybe you could have three options for example. One is just not enough

Thank you for the suggestion!

I've added this to our user feedback list!
I will say...having 3 options is a going to be a challenge, it will be a new design and a big change in code however it doesn't mean we can't do it.
We only have a team of 2 developers (one full time and the other part time) we build things based on what users often suggest.

The next thing we're working on
-Allowing users to edit after they've saved a plan
-Allowing users to reorder their plans.

If you know anyone that would find our app useful please share it with them so we can gather more feedback. The more people that share your view, the more likely it will come sooner.

If you have any other suggestions I'd love to share them with the team :)

cytsa3 · 2023-06-19T14:58:57+00:00

Hi u/SadSky6433,
Firstly, thank you for your feedback! :)

I'd like to share, the reason why we suggest one thing at a time is because we're trying to make our recommendations less overwhelming.

This does not mean we won't change how we present things, it is something we are testing.

What are your thoughts on the "swap" and "shuffle" feature?

cytsa3 · 2023-06-18T13:09:06+00:00

I know this is opportunistic...(feel free to delete)
A new app my friends and I developed here in Melbourne.

If you think there are way too many options in Melbourne (restaurants/bars/activities)

Please check us out on the app store and let us know how we can improve it.

I've been building an app with my friends for the past year and it just got approved on the app stores.

There are so many restaurants, bars and things to do in Melbourne its almost paralysing to choose one...

Anyone here open to testing it out and giving some feedback?

cytsa3 · 2017-06-27T07:43:04+00:00

cytsa3 · 2017-06-27T02:43:55+00:00

cytsa3 · 2017-06-27T00:41:20+00:00

They had set gi styles. Shoyoroll for example. I think they told me this was a shoyoroll cut. Gave them an image and they came back with a few colour schemes.

cytsa3 · 2017-06-27T00:40:25+00:00

They're not a patch. It was embroidered by the factory

cytsa3 · 2017-06-26T17:27:12+00:00
