Locator - Save Places with AI
AI-powered app to save and organize location recommendations from social media, blogs, and websites.
Locator.ltd
Ever find a spot on a blog/social media and then forge it? I've made Locator to fix that. Just toss those links in, and boom - they're on a map. It's perfect for trip planning when recommendations pile up, or just for casual scrolling when you want to save what you find in a useful way.

Need a post-deploy execution? a local emulator setup? it's all in the firebase.json file.
that's why I still love and enjoy #Firebase
so why use #supabase if it just works for me?

locator.ltd started as a way to save places you love—share a link, and it maps everything for you. No more copy-pasting into Google Maps.
But I realized first-time users need more—opening the app to a blank screen isn’t ideal.
So we’re adding an Explore page! 🌍🔍

Sometimes I love sharing technical tips. Heres another one:
You know you can search Google by site, right?
site:mysite.com
Well, you can also do it programmatically using googlesearch-python 👇
Great for finding content on sites that limit search or charge for queries. 👀

Build what your users need, not just what's cool.
Here’s how:
🔍 Track behavior – Focus on the features users love most.
🗣️ Listen to feedback – Let users shape your roadmap.
🚧 Identify friction points – Build solutions where users get stuck.

Just killed an idea before writing a single line of code. Why? Validation with polls.
🚀 Lessons learned:
1️⃣ Interest ≠ Willingness to pay
2️⃣ Validate before you build
3️⃣ Talk to users early
A simple poll saved me months of wasted effort. Build what people need, not just what sounds cool.

Today marks our first churn for Locator - an unsubscribed user. 🫠.
Some thoughts
🔹 Focus too much on new users and not enough on retention will bite you.
🔹 Zero visibility on why they left—was it a bug? A missing feature? No clue.
🔹 Funny how one bad thing makes me question everything. onwards!

Not usually a “new features before PMF” kind of guy, but sometimes, small improvements add real value.
So here I am, tweaking Locator's visuals:
📍 Map markers now show place categories.
🟢 Green = Open, 🔴 Red = Closed.
One less click for two key travel details. 🚀 #buildinpublic

Here’s a reminder I keep telling myself as a solo developer-founder:
That new feature can wait if:
🔹 No user has requested it
🔹 You haven’t reached product-market fit yet
🔹 You have pending marketing/sales tasks you should probably finish first
Build what matters. Sell what exists 🚀
