Hi everyone! Here’s a bit about why I created WYD. The problem I noticed was that every time I used current map applications, the user interface felt clunky and photos were sometimes outdated. I’d find myself opening Google/Apple Maps, followed by Yelp, and finally Instagram. And then I’d take a screenshot and send it to a friend. Overall the experience felt disjointed. I wanted to easily visualize places nearby and have access to all the information I needed within one app experience. Solution 💡: I thought if I use emojis, I could create a clean user interface that solves these problems and is way more fun. So I created WYD and started thinking of all the different places emojis represent. I looked into restaurants 🍔 🌮 🍜 , museums 🎨 , activities 💪 🙏🍿, the list goes on (and is longer than you think! 😜). You can currently access 32 emojis from the quick search, and the rest are integrated and matched via search text. I'm hoping in the next phase this will expand and be customizable. You can also check out Yelp reviews, make a reservation, get directions, or send a place / chat with friends 👋 💬 Best but not least, I found a way to connect each place with their tagged Instagram pics, giving you access to much higher quality images with just one tap 📸 🙆‍♂️. This SERIOUSLY boosts productivity! WYD's goal is for you to find new places in 5 seconds or less, and have fun while doing it. 🗺 🎉 🎉 Let me know if you like it!! Thanks to my family and friends who supported me as I 1) learned how to code this year and 2) created this app.

@jhbuchel Thanks, I subscribed. I like the idea of searching by emojis. Have you thought about letting other people help you build it? Just like Levels did with https://hoodmaps.com/.

Cool concept, have a look at the speculation with Apple at the moment as this will have very big impact on your design. They're rejecting apps when in review for the use of Emoji's in app.

Pros:

Awesome UI

Cons:

How long will apple let you keep the app up for?
