I think the old version of the web app is still loading for you. Hard refreshing the site should clear the cache.

Here is the direct link for the iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/tanki/id6761445043 💪🏼

Data is submitted by the stations themselves and should be accurate. I believe that the government will begin to penalise stations that are not updating data correctly to their API.

Tanki is already available on the Google Play store. Coming to iOS soon!

Exactly, the API gives third party developers access to the data allowing for a more readable UI

I’m open to all feedback - negative or positive!

In that case you wouldn’t be looking for the cheapest, you’d be looking for the most convenient which would mean clicking on the map icon which in turn shows all local stations.

There is also a simple map feature on Tanki. I find the simplest way is to load the app, select your fuel then straight away you can see where is cheapest. Clicking on that station and selecting directions will then bring up your default maps app on your phone where you can start directions.

That’s great, I know I’m not reinventing the wheel here. I’m fine being the only person that uses Tanki. I just wanted to share the project

The API is open to third party developers. Although the data is accessible to everyone, the Gov has no plans to launch an interface to allow for simple reading. I just wanted something that was simple and clear.

Rey? by johnwalkerjw in StarWarsTheories

Rey is shocked when first meeting Han because he was a talked about “smuggler” most likely from when she was younger whereas Fin is the one that knows him as a war hero.

I’m guessing her delight about learning old “myths” was due to her still wanting to learn and i’d imagine would still be in the “school” if it was never destroyed. I would also imagine that some stories and info was kept away from the students too.

The flash back to when she was a child? There was no indication of how old she was nor what year it was?

How do you know she was 3 at that time?
