NearbySpot
LIVENearbySpot 解的是一個很小、但很真實的痛點:我們收藏很多「下次想去」的地方,但真正經過附近時,往往完全忘記。NearbySpot solves a small but real pain: we save many places for “next time,” but when we actually drive nearby, we often forget them completely.
這個專案的切法,是從一個很小的生活場景做出產品體驗:少一點操作、少一點選擇障礙,在對的時間把資訊推到眼前。The angle here is turning a small everyday situation into a product experience: less interaction, less decision fatigue, and the right reminder at the right moment.
為什麼我做這個Why I built this
我做 NearbySpot,是因為我常常在地圖裡收藏「下次想去」的地方,但真正開車經過附近時,根本不會記得打開清單。這不是導航問題,而是時機問題:資訊要在對的地點、對的時間、用不打擾開車的方式出現。I built NearbySpot because I often save places for “next time,” but when I actually drive near them, I do not remember to open the list. This is not a navigation problem; it is a timing problem. The information has to appear in the right place, at the right moment, without interrupting driving.
它解決什麼問題The problem it solves
地圖 app 很會幫你導航到已知目的地,但不擅長提醒你「你現在附近有一個以前想去的地方」。NearbySpot 的產品判斷是:開車時不要要求使用者打開清單,而是用地理位置、語音與大字體,在不打擾安全的前提下提醒。Map apps are good at navigating to a known destination, but not at reminding you that a place you once wanted to visit is nearby. NearbySpot’s product bet is: do not ask drivers to open a list; use location, voice, and large text to remind them safely.
產品做了什麼What the product does
Google Maps 分享Google Maps sharing
支援 Share Extension,從 Google Maps app 直接分享地點進 NearbySpot。Supports a Share Extension so places can be shared directly from Google Maps into NearbySpot.
Driving ModeDriving mode
開車模式使用全螢幕地圖、大字體通知、橫向模式與語音朗讀。Driving Mode uses full-screen map, large notifications, landscape support, and voice alerts.
智慧通知Smart notifications
用 CoreLocation geofence 在接近收藏地點時提醒,並可一鍵導到 Apple Maps。Uses CoreLocation geofencing to remind users near saved places, with one-tap Apple Maps navigation.
AI / Agent 整合AI / Agent integrations
目前重點不是 AIAI is not the point here yet
這個 project 的重點是產品場景與行動端體驗;如果硬塞 AI 反而會變薄。未來比較合理的 AI 方向是自動分類地點、根據行程推薦提醒距離、或整理收藏理由。This project is currently about product context and mobile experience; forcing AI into it would weaken it. Reasonable future AI directions include place classification, reminder-distance suggestions, or summarizing why a place was saved.
品質不是口號Quality signals
安全場景設計Designed for a driving context
開車時不適合複雜操作,所以設計重點放在大字體、語音、橫向模式與一鍵導航。Driving is not the place for complex interaction, so the design emphasizes large text, voice, landscape mode, and one-tap navigation.
系統整合完整Complete system integration
不是一個清單 app;它串了 Google Maps URL parsing、Share Extension、MapKit、CoreLocation 與 AVFoundation。It is not a list app; it connects Google Maps URL parsing, Share Extension, MapKit, CoreLocation, and AVFoundation.
小題大做得剛好A small problem, fully solved
痛點小,但完整做到「收藏 → 靠近 → 提醒 → 導航」,這就是產品感。The pain is small, but the loop — save → approach → remind → navigate — is complete. That is product taste.
