No one likes raisins on Halloween. No one. Remember when you were a kid, and you found that house that gave whole candy bars, or left a bowl of candy that said “take one’, or even houses that gave money? It was like hitting the lottery! Free at CandyMap.co.

Honestly, the candy map was created because I wanted it for my family. At my house, we give away good candy to the kids and a special treat for the parents who are tagging along. We love meeting our neighbors, watching the kids light up when they see big candy bars, and seeing the adults come running when you tell them there is a Solo cup with their name on it. CandyMap.co was built to help other neighborhoods connect in a fun and safe way too. I screwed up and posted this originally after midnight ET time last night, so I am putting this up today because of Halloween coming. This project is just for fun, so I hope the PH community will understand my intention to get it to the world for 24 hrs :)

Not every aspect of life needs to be optimized with algorithm and social engineering to put pressure on people to spend as everyone in your app, there is people that struggle and thay can't spend more on fancy candy to look good in your app. And where is the sense of a hunt to make an afford to win some good candy, sorry man that just wrong

@gifmall We are just trying to have some fun. I am sure as a kid you and your friends talked about the good houses, the good neighborhoods, and their dream haul. I'm sure you made a game plan on how to get the goods. There are also people who absolutely have the means, but still give toothbrushes. Kids don't want toothbrushes on Halloween, they want treats.

It would be very cool to do some analysis of what demographics provide the best candy, then make a heat map based on demographic data across the US and Canada. Perhaps have user feedback contribute to an AI engine that continues to learn the most probable attributes for a Halloween candy gold mine. I live in an affluent community, but neighbors a couple blocks over overlook a river and mountains, and appear to be much more affluent. One rented a mini donut truck a few years ago to hand out free mini donuts. The result: despite being acknowledged as being in an affluent community (as kids, we assumed people in these communities would hand out better stuff), I get few trick or treaters.

@scottnicol I have read that it is harder and harder to find houses that are giving anything out these days. Seems like people are sitting it out. If I was the doughnut truck family, I certainly would want to get the word out :).

This sounds like Jian Yang from Silicon Valley's app for finding empty playgrounds, great for people who want to harm kids

@nathaniel_finger That is silly. Families (parents and kids) have been trick or treating by going house to house for a hundreds years...and maps have been around for thousands.
