A micro discovery / rediscover your local area.

My friend dumbed it "Pokemon go but replace the Pokemons with castles and churches :)"

Use the GPS to discover places of interest in your neighbours or anywhere in the world and invites you to do see these places in person and check in and read the page and get a fun quiz.

It works great for me in Scotland, check it out in your country and let me know.

This comment resonnate with me and in the last few months that is why I have been working on a side project to "be a tourist" in your own town.

Where you can discover places near you and connect to their history, I have also added some check-in mechanics and quiz to gaming the experience and for to actually go see the place in person.

Think Pokemon go but for Wikipedia places.

Pretty much Pokemon Go, but the Pokemon are replaced by your local churches and local castles with all the lore that comes with it :)

I've been working on Izeria for a few months now and I'm looking for some feedback.

I built it because I wanted to go beyond the same popular spots and want to discover and and reconnect with my local area I've been testing it around my home in Edinburgh and it's been fun to go for a walk or cycle and discover local historical spots and hidden gems I never knew existed.

I am a solo developer and I'm planning to take it on holiday with me this summer to see how if I can in new places.

The way it works is simple:

- Turn on localisation

- Click on "Around me"

- See what is around you and pick a place ( places have different rarity , common, rare , legendary )

- Go there check-in and claim the place.

- Read the article about the place and take the quiz about.

The site has been built with some pretty unremarkable tech stack Java / Spring / Mysql / HTMX

If you have a minute, give it a try and let me know if you find anything interesting near you.

I hope you will give Izeria a go and that you will have as much fun using it as I'm having building it.

From reading the report I think this is addressed p36 that might be because the vaccinated and unvaccinated population are different in other ways :

> 1Comparing case rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated populations should not be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 infection. Vaccine effectiveness has been formally estimated from a number of different sources and is summarised on pages 5 to 11 in this report. The case rates in the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations are unadjusted crude rates that do not take into account underlying statistical biases in the data and there are likely to be systematic differences between these 2 population groups. For example: • people who are fully vaccinated may be more health conscious and therefore more likely to get tested for COVID-19 and so more likely to be identified as a case (based on the data provided by the NHS Test and Trace) • many of those who were at the head of the queue for vaccination are those at higher risk from COVID-19 due to their age, their occupation, their family circumstances or because of underlying health issues • people who are fully vaccinated and people who are unvaccinated may behave differently, particularly with regard to social interactions and therefore may have differing levels of exposure to COVID-19 • people who have never been vaccinated are more likely to have caught COVID-19 in the weeks or months before the period of the cases covered in the report. This gives them some natural immunity to the virus for a few months which may have contributed to a lower case rate in the past few weeks

I think that's the main reason I try to limit my shopping on Amazon. Shopping on Amazon means limited circular economy because all the large profit centers are concentrated on few large metropolis ( probably must of then in the US ) and by large shareholders. Lower amount of tax is collected from that purchase that in a local shop because of fiscal optimization.

Overall at the scale of the city it seems to me ( I don't have any numbers for that ) that consuming on Amazon is not a great deal long term.

Like the idea ! Wouldn't using the data of something like https://www.skyscanner.net/ give you better data, across multiple airline

Thank you very much, execellent read. I still think / hope that there is room for apple to improve the way they do their image scaling in iOS for the retina display. I think it is not sustenable to expect all the web to support high res images everywhere in the short to medium future.

What do you think about this?

We said not scammy :).
