The main objective is to make it resize better onto tiny phone screens.
I made a first attempt at this a few years ago when I arranged everything into one or two columns depending on the size of the screen viewing it. That helped but was still too fixed. It was difficult to slot in new items, such as inside view, and it still didn't fit properly on certain tall narrow phones.
The new version is much more "responsive". It's also more flexible so I can add new bits and pieces.
New Features:
* inside view on many shops
* links to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for many shops
* nearest shops from every shop
* pop-up opening hours expansion (not on Apple)
* pop-up page navigation
* resizable maps
Previously there were a few links to nearby open shops on each closed shop. This was mostly based on postcodes and wasn't very accurate. The new nearby shops algorithm is much improved. As before, it only picks open shops and tries to always include at least one coffeeshop in the list.
There is a 'known issue' with the opening hours pop-up on Apple devices. I blame Apple! If there's ever going to be a problem it's always on Microsoft's bloody Internet Explorer (or whatever they call it these days
) and whatever Apple calls their browser. They both think they know best and ignore standards.Anyway, the feature missing to Apple users is not significant. Also, to be fair, it is designed for a mouse interface so I should probably change it to a button that would work better on touch screens.
Please Help
I'd really appreciate your reports on anything that doesn't work well on your device or browser. Please post your findings here.
