Interesting. Code Puzzle also offers the possibility to add blanks (and drop down menus), but no doctests. Maybe a new feature for the next version.
laurentabbal··on Geolocalized Open Data for Marketers
Thanks. I will take into account these remarks.
laurentabbal··on Geolocalized Open Data for Marketers
FYI, I've added a demo. No need to register to test the system now. https://www.thedatapond.net/new-demo
laurentabbal··on Geolocalized Open Data for Marketers
Thanks! Many people were not convinced by the analogy with fishing. So I changed the text to something more classic: projects / lists. Less fun but more serious... If I have a time today, I will set up a demo that will not require registration. Thanks for the advice.
laurentabbal··on Geolocalized Open Data for Marketers
Duly noted. What do you mean by "for real world use-cases due to scraping restrictions"?
laurentabbal··on Geolocalized Open Data for Marketers
About legality, anyone has legal knowledge about this kind of data sharing ?
laurentabbal··on Geolocalized Open Data for Marketers
There are many things to improve. This is a beta. I'll try to do something easier to understand. I am not used to the vocabulary of marketing. Any advice is welcome.

2) Several people made this remark. Now, I do not know if I keep it that way or if I do something more classic.

3) I'm learning. I am not used to the field of "marketing"

laurentabbal··on Geolocalized Open Data for Marketers
Thanks! It's just a beta and many things need to be improved. The first point is whether the idea is good. If so, improvements will be made based on comments and advice. Thanks again.

Hi guys

I've already spent several weeks on this project and I've decided to launch the website today even if it's not finished (beta version).

The idea is to continue the development according to feedback, comments and advice. There are still 1000 things to do : design, typo, features, improve lists...

What does the site offer? The idea is to offer users the ability to create their own marketing lists and use them as they please. You can create as many geolocalized open data lists as you want. You select a geographical area, define parameters (categories, keywords ...) and the system extracts for you downloadable data such as name, location, address, telephone number, website, email address ...

Let's say you want to get a list of all the restaurants in Manhattan. When you register, you receive 500 baits (a bait = a location detail such as name, address, phone number, website ... if available) 1. Create a "fishing expedition" and define criteria (mainly category = restaurant) 2. Create a new pond (you will fish in this pond): With the drawing tool, create a line around Manhattan. 3. Click on "dig and fish" and you will know how many baits you need to get all the data 4. Then click on "fish them all!" and you will have a list of all the restaurants and their available details (name, address, telephone number, website...). This list can be downloaded as a 'csv' file (you can open this file with Excel, LibreOffice, Google Sheets...)

Data from services such as Google Maps or Foursquare can not be used for marketing or communication purposes. For example, the Google Maps Terms of Service (3.2.4) states "Customer will not extract, export, scrape, or cache Google Maps Content for use outside the Services". Data from The Data Pond are under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL).

The data you will get from The Data Pond are not as rich as data from services like Google Maps or Foursquare but, at least, it is legal to use them.

If you have any comment or advice, do not hesitate. Shot.

laurentabbal··on Beta testers needed for Devserver 19
Thanks! Some testers are now on the list.

But we need a lot more if we want a beta period as short as possible.
