Yelp like apps on Nostr is overlooked big time. Local businesses/restaurants reviews are very cultural. The most popular Japanese review app is not even on US App Store so I can’t use it. Google Maps reviews are heavily biased towards tourists from western countries. Therefore, it hard for me to find good recommendations of restaurants as a foreigner.

The best restaurant so far that I have been to was recommended to me by a Japanese user who was not my follower and might not use the same client even.

The power of sharing information across culture barriers is profound and can physically change one’s life for good.

Who’s down for Reviewstr?

Create the repo. Happy to contribute 🫡

i was 💬 about this, as well.... Imagine as a bartender/server your npub would link to the reviews as well (or could) and when they change jobs to another establishment, their "reviews" follow them, too. So essentially tied to establishment, but rep can be "taken" to a new job. Could help with job reference when applying.

Wow, that’s a new use case I never thought of.
