I built an app that uses math to find the sweet spot for restaurant meetups

3 months ago 1

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) to minimize the maximum distance anyone has to travel.

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.

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