Show HN: I built GeoQuests where people can request photos of a place

Hi HN. I had faced an issue where I wanted to know how a place I was travelling to looked like. Like everyone else I looked at google maps and snap chat too. But Google streetview images were usually old and snapchat snaps lacked control. So I built GeoQuests for anyone who wants to know what’s going on on Earth.

You drop a quest at a real location. People see it on the map, go there, and complete it by taking a photo when they’re close enough. The app checks the image's GPS coordinatee, time of the image and if the image fits the request's description. I am using Gemini to verify the image.

Basically you, pin a place -> others discover it on the map -> they go there and complete the quest with a verified photo.

You can browse the map, see public quests and create quests. Wanted some feedback on the project.
