What we did
It started as a single file with 12,638 places across Spain, to check whether the idea worked before building anything real.
It worked, so it grew to 147 countries: no sign-up, no cookie wall, no app to install, and a button with emergency numbers that works without signal.
Quality control depends on users: corrections and new places sent through the site.
What you can take from it
- Prove the idea with the smallest possible version.
- Remove every step between the user and the answer.
- Let the people who use it improve it.
