    Very odd. Besides the Turbotax-esque over length loading process, every point I could find (in the Southwestern US) was a seemingly random location with no other details. Some of them just, like, the side of a road. I think the whole database was generated by LLM and it's just useless junk.

    What are the equivalents to "you're absolutely right" or "it's not X. It's Y." for vibe-coded apps? I think: verbose design with lots of subtitles; lots of boasting; and a particular visual style.

    No way to get any information about any of the sites that I searched in the US. They have odd names and you can click to Google maps to find a description if there is one or pop to streetview but basically, unless you know something about the building or local point of interest you won't find it in this app.

    There’s only 1 POI in the USA???

      I think it's just slow or flaky. I eventually got points but seem to be all imports from urbex without description. Feels like a vibe coded thing tbh. Would like something like this though.

        It's an attractive site, but it seems to be all the points of interest are in Europe.
