Compass that Points to the Nearest Liquor Store

PointMe does one thing: point you to the nearest liquor store. Just open the app and follow the compass. Inspired by a YouTube video from Uvos Lab, this started as a fun weekend idea and turned into a couple months of experimenting with maps, apis, and AI coding tools. Hope you enjoy it!
Would be great if the app could filter for stores that are actually open right now, like showing hours and filtering out the ones that closed early. Saves me from walking somewhere only to find the door locked.
@necatipisk53626 I appreciate the feedback! Unfortunately that information is one of the limitations of mapbox. I'm planning to maybe join with foursquare data to get this in a future update
Love the simplicity of just opening it and following the compass. One thing that would make it even better is showing whether the nearest store is currently open, since late-night runs are usually when you need it most.
@berenmamhavtol Definitely agreed! Planning this for a future update
Compass worked instantly when I opened the app and led me to a spot two blocks away I never knew existed. Refreshingly simple.
@yunustrkseddvj Exactly what this was created for, thanks for giving it a try!
Opened it on a whim and the compass nailed the nearest spot two blocks over in seconds. Simple, no fluff, and honestly a little funny that it does exactly one thing so well.
Honestly impressed with how clean the compass-only UX is, no clutter, just tap and walk. Great execution on turning a simple idea into something genuinely useful.
@dilarasidda Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to try it out
The compass-only approach is such a clean idea, no menus no clutter just point and walk. Love that you kept it laser-focused on one job and actually shipped it.
@sadktanrse6e6q Thank you for your review!
