Summary

CheapFoodMap is a web app that helps users find meals under $10 across multiple US cities, highlighting hidden gems and lunch specials.

I was recently laid off after 18 years, and gave myself 100 days to build soething useful in public. CheapFoodMap is a crowdsourced map of meal under $10, excluding franchises, local good eats only.<p>It&#x27;s inspried by 거지맵 (Begger&#x27;s Map) a Korean crowdsourced map students use to find cheap eats.<p>Ocverage is heaviest in Texas, since I live in Dallas, but have 1200 meals across 15 US cities. Seed data came from Google Review, 4.2 star or higher with at least 500 reviews, and verified price under $10 per menu item.<p>Things I would love feedback on : whether the price-freshness model makes sense, and what would make you trust the price on a site like this. How to encourage people to update prices, since inflation is making food price very frequent.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cheapfoodmap.com<p>Any and all suggestion will be super helpful. Thank you!
