153 trucks available to browse, of which 6 truck operators have claimed. I want to pump this number up, but even with so few trucks claimed, there is value to be had - Use the Bucket List feature to create a list of food trucks you want to visit. Use the Crave Wizard to find the meal you're craving right now, and within your specified radius.

Food trucks that have not been claimed but have a schedule are listed - then visit the food truck's social media page to verify the truck's location and head out.

Food trucks that have been claimed will indicate that the food truck operator has personally checked in a their location, and don't need to be validated.

Community spotting is implemented as well - see a food truck nearby? Visit that truck's profile and click "I see this truck right now", your sighting will appear on the map as a community sighting.

About four months of my free time was spend creating this app. I and my wife are using it as we speak to located a July 4th food truck to visit.

Input and feedback is welcome - I find it unlikely that I've configured everything perfectly, or that all the features users would want are implemented here, so hit up the contact form or submit a message to the admin from withing you account to speak your mind.

Hey everyone,

Quick update for those who saw my previous posts about the food truck app. Because I'm running this on a non-existent budget, I had to switch the site off to prevent going over my hosting and API usage limits.

Now that the limits have reset, I'm started it back up to test a handful of new features based on input from the previous post:

Browser Detection: It now uses basic location data from your browser to pull up the local area immediately on load. This location data is accurate to within 3-10 miles.

User Profiles: You can log in to save your favorite trucks and, more importantly, set a maximum travel radius so you only see trucks within your driving comfort zone.

Community check-ins: Now logged in users can spot food trucks on the mapp, allowing non-claimed and non-checked in trucks to appear on the map.

I'll be testing more over the next 2-3 weeks, with a hard-launch vaguley scheduled for the 1st-ish of July. I MAY have to switch the site off one more time if I hit the usage limits again.

The Pensacola subreddit's feedback on the previous post was incredibly useful, and I'm hoping more folks are willing to give fedback here.
