Pay for good tools, people.
I've been using some startup tools for social media, email, etc, and my goodness they're great. Those people have spent years working on that problem, you haven't - just pay up and benefit from their time. #buildinpublic #indiehackers

Big win for the accuracy of travel time heatmaps in theretowhere.com - they can now be aware of the time of day you want to take trips. Makes a big difference! Here's an example of a 20 minute car ride map in SF starting at chase center. #indiehackers #buildinpublic

Most mapping apps cannot combine bikes with public transportation. Today, theretowhere.com can! Transit + bike is fully supported in city heatmaps and in directions. This was highly requested - give it a whirl! #buildinpublic #indiehackers #cycling #biking

Looking for apartments or Airbnbs close to work but far from sirens (ie ambulances, etc)? theretowhere.com now supports searches like this! Here's an example showing parts of NYC close to WeWorks but far from hospitals. #indiehackers #apartmenthunting #nyc #buildinpublic

Great testimonial I got from a user (over discord)
Just going to paste it in word for word
"wow this is unreal and DIRECTLY solves a pain point I've had for years (which is not true of 99.9% of software I see)"
Made by day ☺️

In some weeks I'm going spin up a paid plan for Theretowhere so I can offer features that are uneconomical to offer for free. Wondering what I should name it. I don't want "Pro" - boring. Maybe Prime? Or something thematic, like Explorer? Any ideas?

I always say its possible (but not easy) to find good apartments in NYC without insultingly high rent. Informal rent agreements one secret! And avoiding "hip" areas. Want to write about this in theretowhere.com/blog - anyone have secrets to share?

Has anyone else realized that there doesn't seem to be an existing API that can give you crime data when given a coordinate? Like, it doesn't even need to be super accurate - county wide or precinct wide statistics would be enough. Interesting.

Took theretowhere.com down for the night - hackernews traffic was waaaay too expensive - got to over $400 in like 24 hours. 🫠
Made some changes that will make the site way more cost effective - hopefully users won't notice much of a difference.
Lots more improvements planned!

Some numbers from theretowhere.com usage after yesterday (and today) (a bit inaccurate since billing dashboards lag a lot):
~60K sessions
~27k cloud function calls
~100k calls to my autocomplete API
~100k operations on my heatmapping services
Will cost about $200 - would be 2x w/o free tiers.
