Quick update to my last post. I created the GeoLocation component to fetch the users latitude and longitude, but I still needed to send that data to a backend service to filter the records. I have now added a new component to the same library that will handle filtering the records on the client (this is important to note that it is client side filtering). A quick video can be found here

I built this component awhile ago and I am open-sourcing it with MIT license if anyone wants to use it. It is located here

This has been tested on Android and Web, it has not been tested on iOS. If anyone wants to test it on iOS and see what happens feel free.

I am in talks with Adalo to get this into the marketplace, hopefully it will be soon.

If there are any issues or feature requests, feel free to post them into the github issues

As I read this I wonder if people are aware that there already exists a solution for at least some of the below. If you capture the user's address (even just postcode) you can send it to the Google Geocoding API (in any format) and the API will return the Latitude and Longitude coordinates. It is then possible to filter based on absolute values using the the approximation that 0.1 deg is about 10kms. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/overview

yes like something that is for filtering users within 3 miles, 5 miles , 10 miles, Etc. If anyone knows if this exists please hit me up!! :)

I believe this will also help where we need to send scheduled notifications based on user timezone/location

Adalo, can you guys put this into motion already? It's literally the final piece to my puzzle. Time is money.

Apuren!

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.

Any updates?
