Where The Shit Goes Down
Crowd-sourced restroom cleanliness ratings, with photos, pinned to the business. Restaurants, cafΓ©s, bars, gas stations, stores, clinics, venues β members rate the restroom from 1 (disaster) to 5 (spotless), attach a photo, and the place gets a running cleanliness score on the map.
Why the bathroom
It's the one part of a business's hygiene that a customer can actually inspect. Kitchens, storerooms and back offices are hidden; the restroom isn't β and how it's kept is a strong, visible proxy for the standards behind the counter. A dated photo plus a rating from a real person is a public-health signal you can't get from a menu or a star review.
How it works
- Browse. Open the map, search a business or tap a pin. Every place shows its cleanliness score, every rated visit with its photo, and comments from members.
- Rate. Members tap Add, take or choose a photo (compressed right on the phone), confirm the location β from the photo's GPS or the map β pick the business so the same restroom isn't listed twice, and rate it: π Disaster Β· π¬ Rough Β· π Okay Β· π Clean Β· β¨ Spotless.
- Reviewed before it's public. Anyone can browse. Accounts are free and instant (sign up or continue with Google), but every photo is checked by a moderator before it appears on the map. Members with a track record are marked trusted and publish immediately.
- History, not just a snapshot. Each place keeps every dated visit. The score on the map is the current state (the last three visits); the place page shows the all-time average, the trend (improving, steady, slipping) and the full timeline β so a business that cleans up is seen cleaning up.
- Moderation and privacy. Admins can hide or remove anything inappropriate. Photos are stored small (about 350 KB) with camera metadata stripped; only the location of the business is kept.
Rating scale
1 π Disaster β unusable or unsafe Β· 2 π¬ Rough β dirty, missing basics Β· 3 π Okay β usable, not great Β· 4 π Clean β well kept Β· 5 β¨ Spotless β you'd eat off it (don't).
Open data
Every rated place is published as open data: places.geojson (name, address, coordinates, average cleanliness rating, rating count, photo count, latest photo, page link). A machine-readable summary of the site lives at /llms.txt. Photos remain the work of the members who took them.
