Well, there is one guide which is manually curated but some data like opening times are outdated. I try to delegate the profiles to the actual owners of rooftop locations like on TripAdvisor or Google Business Profile so that the data remains better up-to-date.
Well I think this is a very wanted utility - tourists especially like rooftop (or high floor) places because they like the combined experience of enjoying good food/drink while overlooking the travel location they're in from a high vantage point. And they've got money they need to spend. So if people know when they use this that it'll quickly give them nearby good rooftop locations, i.e. above all else it's reliable, it'll get uptake.
For that reason I don't think the categorization approach is that helpful. The UI that'd be more likely to work is: visit the site, hit "find rooftop locations near me", it asks for Location permission, you get a list ranked by best rated / closest (and then provide location links for each out to popular map apps).
Filtration based on type of venue could happen after that stage if the visitor cares.
There'd still be the option for manual searching for if e.g. the tourist is planning this ahead.
Still work in progress but the first version of my rooftop discovery & review site is ready. Imagine "Tripadvisor for rooftops & skydecks". Just added the top 150 places across Vietnam and will see where it goes ... Will probably add more countries.
Discover the best #rooftops, #skydecks, #skybars & #skyviews in #vietnam, #danang, #dalat, #halong, #hanoi, #hochiminhcity, #hcmc, #hoian, #hue, #nhatrang, #ninhbinh, #phuquoc, #sapa, #vungtau & elsewhere.
Next: I will contact the owners / operators of the currently listed rooftops to transfer listings to them. I hope that they will add more details like photos and other details which I couldn't find like rooftop floor level in some cases.
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu.nz - A fun, minimalist site dedicated to the hill in New Zealand with the world’s longest single-word place name — and now one of the longest domain names ever registered. Includes background on the Māori legend of Tamatea, the 85-character name’s meaning, and its official recognition. Built just for the curiosity of it.
I launched uberlinks.net because I’ve always been frustrated with how backlink building is usually done—mostly focused on quantity rather quality. Still you need foundational backlinks to boost your rankings which is a time-intensive and monotonous job. I streamlined the process for my own projects and other startups to book it as a service.
Often, I stumbled across registered domain names that were not used but parked, for sale or simply inactive. I wanted to find out the actual usage share of top English single keyword .com domain names. The result: Only about 44% are in active use.
Check out all the details in the embedded Google Sheets file.
After having used Google Analytics for more than a decade, I broke up and compiled a comparison of 30 alternatives ;-).
* First, it is so time-consuming setting up custom reports in GA4 which have been available previously by default in Google Universal Analytics.
* Second, with privacy restrictions, ad blockers, cookie deprecation, cross-browser/device use, blocking of referrer and search term data etc., the underlying data and attribution modelling becomes less reliable and complete.
What web analytics solution are you using right now?
