一位经历失业的开发者在100天的创业期内推出了CheapFoodMap，这是一个众筹地图应用，帮助用户在美国15个城市中发现1200家提供10美元以下餐食的本地餐厅[1]。该项目汇聚了经过严格筛选的餐饮商户，其初始数据来自谷歌评论，仅纳入星级4.2分或以上且至少拥有500条评论的餐厅，并验证了每家餐厅的菜单项目价格均在10美元以下[1]。其中德州达拉斯地区的覆盖最为完整[1]。
这一项目的灵感源于韩国学生使用的众筹廉价美食地图"거지맵"[1]。应用地址为https://cheapfoodmap.com[1]。开发者就价格数据的保持新鲜度、用户信任机制的建立，以及如何激励用户主动更新价格信息等问题向社区寻求反馈[1]。
A developer who was laid off created CheapFoodMap within 100 days, a crowdsourced map application designed to help users locate budget-friendly dining options.[1] The platform currently covers 1,200 restaurants across 15 U.S. cities that offer meals priced at $10 or below, with Dallas, Texas having the most comprehensive coverage.[1]
The application was inspired by a similar crowdsourced food map used by Korean students known as "Begger's Map."[1] To populate the initial database, the developer gathered data from Google reviews, selecting restaurants with ratings of 4.2 stars or higher and at least 500 reviews, then verified that menu items met the sub-$10 price requirement.[1] The platform is accessible at https://cheapfoodmap.com.[1]
The creator is actively seeking community feedback on several aspects of the service, including whether the price freshness model functions effectively, how to build user confidence in price accuracy, and strategies to encourage users to contribute price updates.[1]
