Crowd Heatmap by BestTime

What it does

Today BestTime.app launches a major update that makes it possible to analyze visitor peaks of public business (cafe, gym, etc) for whole areas. Using the tools/ API you can find businesses on popular visiting times, location, hour, day, and business type.

Know When Places Are Busy. Visitor patterns and live busyness for public venues worldwide like bars, restaurants, shops, attractions, etc!

You are building dynamic experiences, but your data is stuck in the past. Relying on simple addresses and opening hours leads to bad user experiences—sending travelers to overcrowded museums, diners to empty restaurants, or staffing venues based on guesswork instead of reality. Mix forecasts, live signals, and flexible filters to power any location-aware experience. Compare real-time activity against the average to flag surges or quiet periods instantly. Find and add any venue worldwide using natural language queries like “McDonald’s in Manhattan” or “Brunch places in Paris”. Don’t just find a venue—find the right vibe at the right time. Use the Venue Filter to spot hotspots, identify quiet…from besttime.app

  A website that heatmaps your city based on your housing preferences2025 · theretowhere.com · ▲321

  For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about? - Given a listing, how far is it from all the things and people I care about? Personally this was fueled by my own frustrations when I was apartment hunting in NYC. I was frustrating to have to juggle so many Google Maps tabs when I was evaluating a listing, and it was also annoying to not have full confidence that I was even searching in the right places. I wanted to be close to work, a Trader Joe's, and a…

  The best time to visit any city2017 · ▲395

  I wanted to build a tool to help people decide when and where to travel. As I started building, I realized that "when" and "where" need separate treatment to be most useful. The map tool handles "where" best: https://championtraveler.com/travel-weather-map/ Clicking through each week would be frustrating for those who know where they want to travel but not when. For these people I built "best time to travel" pages using the same data. https://championtraveler.com/best-time-to-travel/ My hope is this site will help travelers plan. This data is taken…

  Talanoa▲343

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Linux sysadmin course, eight years on▲780

  Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
