Show HN: I built a comprehensive French city directory
Key features: - Search by city name or postal code with geolocation - Detailed business listings with opening hours, contact info, and accessibility - Interactive maps showing local services - Categorized browsing (shops, restaurants, public services, etc.) - Real-time search with autocomplete -Mobile-responsive design
The platform currently covers over 35,000 French communes with verified business information. All data is sourced from open government datasets and OpenStreetMap, ensuring accuracy and regular updates. I built this to solve the problem of finding reliable local business information in France, where many existing directories are outdated or incomplete. The goal is to provide a single, comprehensive resource for local information.
Tech stack: Django, PostgreSQL, OpenStreetMap API, government data APIs, and modern frontend with HTMX for dynamic interactions.
Would love feedback on the user experience and suggestions for additional features!
