useful feedback. This is a rewrite focused on the biggest complaint
from that version: you used to have to type in a ZIP code to see
anything, which made the dataset feel like a lookup tool instead of
something you could explore.
The map is the primary surface now. Pan and zoom and the data loads
under you — clustered pins at low zoom, individual loans as you zoom
in. Search works for ZIP, business name, and state; NAICS code, loan
amount, year, and forgiveness status are filters on top of whatever
you're looking at.
Local marketing? idk, just thought it was neat to put it on a map. I find it interesting to see the businesses that people in my neighborhood are running
Hi, thanks for checking it out and leaving some great ideas. A graph comparing with two strategies and seeing which was more effective given a certain starting date would help people see your point.
This is awesome! - just signed up to get A Tale of Two Cities (want to see what all the hype is about)
I have a google scripts that set up to email myself my personal goals in the morning, and now I want to set up an application to let other people create 'SMART goals' and set up a recurring email similar to how you it set up for Daily Read.
Do you have a blog or some content on how you went about setting this up? I'm stuck on figuring out how to let each user schedule their emails - willing to compensate you for your help! (azum61)
