In August you go looking for a fountain and end up squinting at a map. The data exists and it's public, but it isn't where you need it: on your phone, while you're walking.
Idea and scope
A map and little else: search, see the fountain, get directions. No accounts, no favourites, no ratings.
What I built
A world map that loads fountains for the visible area, with per-cell caching so the same tile isn't fetched twice.
An OpenStreetMap adapter through Overpass, plus support for local public datasets where they exist.
Mobile interface: search, marker clustering, detail panel, and directions.
Where it stands
Published at fountly.app. I use it when I travel.
What it shows
Pulling several geographic data sources behind a single search.
Keeping the scope narrow: get search, detail, and directions right before adding features.

01Madrid in August: you search for a fountain, open it, and it tells you how to get there.
