Lately, I’ve been working on a personal project which is a directory for us local guides. it’s an app for local guides who want to be found/listed by their cities.
it’s a very basic app that doesn’t require email address or phone number. it show you a simple search result with links to your social profiles which you can include them through your account settings. Your profile will be by default private & not listed in the search results till you make it public. the results are pulled from the public profiles of the app users itself.
I would like to have your opinions on a such app. Sorry, I will not share it with you till I fix some bugs, add terms of use & privacy policy to it and have your opinions.
Web (PWA):
Android (beta):
important points:
This app is a personal project & developed by me.
This app is NOT sponsored/supported by Google/Local Guides team.
This app require an authentication through your Google account.
I will never ask for your email/phone number or any specialpermissions, just the minimal for the integrity of data in the app.
This is very cool. I had the same idea last year, with the idea of making it easier to find Local Guides around the world, without invading privacy. Unfortunately there’s no API for Local Guides, and the Maps API is very limited for the purpose I was trying to achieve.
Please do let us know when you have a public link to preview your web app
Hi @khammami , thanks for taking the time to create this really cool app. We are glad you feel they need to stay more in touch with fellow Local Guides. While we don’t review or approve unofficially created items, to help be sure Local Guides aren’t confused we recommend adding similar disclaimers (“this app is not sponsored by Google/Local Guides team”) in the home page of your app and in the app store description. Thanks.
I’ve added a section for unofficial communities supported y LG team as a searchable list or a map view synced to to the original LG map.
I’ll share with you a draft version not the final I’ve already test it with selected fellow local guides. I hope I’ll push the final version to the server over the next week.
@iyudhi@LucioV thanks for participating in the early test & your feedback
@iyudhi@LucioV can I have your permission to use your profile picture & name in a screen shot like the one above?
P.S: how to revoke/delete the access (basic information permission) of my app to your Google account => go https://myaccount.google.com/permissions then look for “Local Guide Directory” and remove it.
