Published my first app! A compass that points to the nearest liquor store

It’s a pretty simple app but it took me a couple months playing around with different apis. Would really appreciate a download and any feedback you might have!

Some things I learned:
-Most llms have a lot of trouble even building a simple compass
-The Google Maps api is extremely expensive ($30/1000 requests). I ended up using mapbox instead since it was ~100x cheaper
-I found that cursor was much better than copilot in understanding context and implementing multistep plans
-When debugging it helps to have the model create a markdown file for the flow of the function throwing errors
