una clave fundamental

A reminder to the Adalo team that I (and others apparently) can't use the platform without this. Priorities are hard, but this is table stakes.
Jimmy Noujaim
Any updates?
Maximiliano Leguizamon
Jimmy Noujaim: supongo que la inversion del fondo de riesgo. podamos contar con las prioridades de los desarrolladores en este sentido

Hello all. I have been working on a simple work around. Before I get into the work around. There are some limitations to this method but I would love to work with any or all of you to help integrate this idea.
I have a .csv file ready to be converted from text data to coordinate data. The cost to convert this data is 15.10 USD. I am strapped for cash (Adalo, I submitted an application
cough
) so I cannot pay this. If someone would like to take one for the team and contribute, that would be epic.Here is the method.
- When a user signs up have them select an address. The address must be in a certain format so breaking up the necessary info is most likely the best solution.
(zip)
(street address)
(autofill country *conditional)
(autofill state *conditional)
(autofill city *conditional)
- Have some data slot in a database (most likely the "user" data) called "true longitude"
"true latitude"
"new longitude"
"new latitude"
- Use the .csv of geolocation data, after someone has paid the pied piper and added the columns of longitude and latitude, to determine a users specific location (true longitude and true latitude)
- Next, use Adalo's custom formula feature to add or subtract some number to the true longitude and the true latitude to give the user a new longitude and new latitude range. true_lon = 1, true lat = 3, new_lon = true_lon +- 0.5, new_lat = true_lat +- 0.05. This can also be conditional based on some user input as well. Meaning that the number added or subtracted can be dynamic based on some user input using the "sometimes" feature under Advanced Settings for an action in Adalo.
- Use the new longitude and new latitude to display a list of nearby businesses, food trucks, or personal trainers.
Quickly, these function would not need to be run every time the user logs into the app. They would only need to be run once after every time the user changes their preferred radius (really a square but oh well for now) or once after the user changes their current location. This could also be used to add more than one location to the users preferred search fields with a little bit of editing on your Apps end.
I most likely missed something or need to edit my method, so please feel free to ask questions or correct me. If someone has a discord where I can put the .csv file then please let me know. Otherwise, I will just send the file as requested via email.
Below is an image of what the location database should look like if you use my method.
Also below is the geocod.io link.
Please please please.. if I can help you, let me know!

Hello Adalo team. We all understand how Adalo is a small team of dedicated individuals. We also understand how development as we may know it can differ heavily from hard code development needed to improve the platform. However, communication with your community is best for all of us. We pay for an incomplete product because we know how much potential it has but GPS/Geolocation features is/are the limiting factor/s in many peoples apps. If you cannot provide us with an update, a quick video on the youtube account would suffice, then some of us may be forced to not only give up on your platform but also give up on our dreams and goals. So, do you want to be a dream killer or can you give some people a sliver of the hope they deserve? It isn't much to ask. I submitted an application to work for Adalo and did not hear back either. I would love to help with communication and community interaction. Hire me and let me connect while the rest of the team focuses on platform improvement.

Daniel Carmichael: i gave up after i lost 3 projects to build for clients due the lack of this feature :(
Daniel Carmichael
Ahmad Alabdrabalnabi: I am currently working on a simple fix for this using airtable. I can share with you the process once I am finished and it is tested. It should be complete by Monday the 21st of June.
Daniel Carmichael
Ahmad Alabdrabalnabi: despite me not being professionally affiliated with adalo, I would love to help you in any way I can. Reach out to me at Daniel.Carmichael.dev@gmail.com if you’d like some free aid.
Daniel Carmichael
David Lakošeljac: I’ll send an email tonight! Been on vacation. I apologize for the late response. I’d love to bring a fix to the community. Even if it is temporary while the Dev team works on a permanent integration.

do you have any update on this? You seem to be ignoring the pleas of the masses (and missing out on revenue!)
MJ
Do you have an ETA on this feature or at least an integration? i.e radar.io

Is this ever getting implemented? Its been the #1 request for a year now
Igor Polynets
I cant even start using Adalo for my app without this feature :(

It‘s been a year， GPS component is too crucial for most of the apps today
