Find restaurants where locals actually eat, filtering out tourist traps.

I know $90 for a dining app sounds absurd. And it’s not even an app; it's a wrapper for an LLM. But it is how it is built that makes it so expensive. I had to make a whole API just to call it (which because its own SAAS). All just to bypass dumb google reviews. Google Maps and reviews send people to places optimized for tourists and good copywriters. To find actual local hole-in-the-walls algorithmically, I had to first build that api (called BWENDI), a "spatial gravity" engine using 100GB+ of tweaked OSM, GeoNames, and other proprietary data. Instead of aggregating reviews, it mathematically calculates foot-traffic, throughput, transaction stats, and economic criticality among other factors. Bwendi is A Python/Node ETL pipeline feeding an LMDB-backed context API. It uses a proprietary 1MB binary grid served via Cloudflare Workers for millisecond edge reads with near-zero overhead, hosted in Switzerland. This was done of course to get the purest location context around every street

I built a vacation optimizer then found out tools like this already exist - I shipped anyway I created free tool longvacation.eu , first as something to try out new Copilot abilities. Later found out there are projects like holiday-optimizer.com that are solving similar issue, so I tried to differentiate. Longvacation supports adding your partner calendar (just one for now, but I plan to add multiple in the future) Longvacation contains multiple sources of holidays data - so countrie
