Show HN: I built an app that uses math to find restaurants nearby the sweet spot

https://settld.space/
2•mayukh180505•6mo ago
I recently built an iOS app called Settld: Group Restaurant Finder that helps friends decide where to meet by finding restaurants that are roughly equally far from everyone’s location, and displaying information about them.

We’ve all been in chaotic group chats where no one can agree on where to eat — this app cuts through that by calculating a “sweet spot” for the group. For 2 people, it’s the midpoint. For 3 people, it’s the circumcenter. For 4–6 people, it uses a minimum enclosing circle approach (Welzl’s algorithm).

It then shows the top 15 nearby options so there’s no more “where do we meet?” chaos — or $50 dinners after a gruelling 2-hour trip just because no one planned. If anyone’s wondering why I capped it at 15 options, it’s to cut down on decision paralysis.

I’d love to get your thoughts on the concept: https://settld.space/
