Open times - Auto start from first entry
Suggested in NZ Tech Startup Ecosystem: “Next I’d work on improving the input for entering a new place. If I already selected the address it seems silly to also go re enter the region and city. When entering times open it could be a little smarter and auto use the input from the previous day (eg if I put opens at 7am in the first one when I go to the second day it should auto start at 7am since almost every place I know has consistent start and end times for most days. Finally maybe some suggestions on what to put in the description could be useful or perhaps separate fields. Such as asking the user how friendly is staff, is it staffed, how much space/seating, etc. or give some good examples for the description so people know what you are looking for instead of it being so open ended.”

Add meeting-room capability as a shared attribute across all place types (coworking, libraries, cafés, public spaces, etc.), with optional metadata such as hourly booking, capacity, cost, and phone booths.

Add "Open 24/7" Filter
Feedback from NZ Tech Startup Ecosystem: - It would be nice if under the Amenities section an “Open 24/7” options was included.

Suggestions for Places 'Description' Field

Pretty Links for URLs
At the moment links look like this: https://nzremote.com/Regions/Details/3 They would look better for sharing if they looked more like this (with the name of the page at the end of the trail): https://nzremote.com/regions/3/waikato
Native Mobile Apps
Suggestion from NZ Tech Startup Ecosystem: “Ahh next I would love an app version of your site which just shows me quickly any around me. 😛. Info quick and easy for me as I’m wandering around a big city (Auckland / Wellington)”
Completed
Rename "Cafe Amenities" to just "Locations"
Suggested in NZ Tech Startup Ecosystem: “Looking good so far! Here’s some feedback from my experience for far: - You may want to consider updating “Came Amenities” to “Locations Amentities” since the places listed aren’t exclusively cafes.”
