Now that both #MangroveReviews and #MapComplete support editing and deleting your reviews, I set about making some much-needed improvements.

My review of Agasi now also describes the ambience a little, and ends on a more positive note to accurately reflect my feelings.

My review of Manoj Nān Wālā also got some tweaks.

Both also got some new photographs on #WikimediaCommons and #Panoramax! Check out my recent uploads on Wikimedia Commons

I discovered that there is a slight caveat to how MapComplete handles edits of reviews, but I hope it will be fixed with time.

As always, I rely on the community’s donations to make ends meet. If you like my contributions, support me on Liberapay!

🧵 As planned, I ended up going to Hunger Strike. Years and years ago, me and my friends would go there after our theatre rehearsals in Lajpat Nagar. Would the food still be just as good?

This time I took photos of not only the food but also the menu, taking advantage of MapComplete’s menu photo upload feature + its Panoramax instance.

🧵 I discovered this low-budget tandoori place in recent months and it quickly became a go-to for me. I was hoping to sample all their stuff before I wrote the review, but then I figured that would take too long, and that I could always write a separate review for the other items later…

🧵 I was hungry, and didn’t feel like splurging on Woody’s Pizzeria again so soon, so I figured I’d walk to good old Hunger Strike for their classic tandoori momos (another place I’m planning to review!).

On the way I spotted this place called Döner Valley, which caught my eye by advertising falafel wraps.

🧵 Many years ago I had some terrific pizza at a place called Stoned Pizzeria, which boasted of being stone baked in a wood-fired oven. But it closed down, and I pined away for pizza of the same quality.

So imagine my surprise when I came across Woody’s Pizzeria in Guru Nanak Market (Lajpat Nagar 4), boasting of the same claims as Stoned. And it delivered! 😀

🧵 Next, I came across this Lebanese restaurant in Lajpat Nagar. I love making hummus and falafel at home, and I wanted to see what it was like at a real Lebanese place. It turned out to be an excellent albeit expensive treat! The food was quite a sight too - see the photos 🤤

🧵 My next review was for one of my favorite places in the city, Mohingā in Humānyūnpur. I had to cut a few details from my draft to fit into Mangrove Reviews’ 999 character limit.

🧵 My first review was Mr. Littīwālā in Mandāwalī, but I unwittingly submitted it as an anonymous review, and now it doesn’t appear under my name. Hopefully everyone can see it’s me from the writing style 😅

Been adding restaurant ratings and reviews to Mangrove Reviews @mangroveReviews using MapComplete @MapComplete (and places to OpenStreetMap and photos to Wikimedia Commons, as usual)

I’ve written 6 reviews so far, and there’s more to come! Plenty of WIP drafts to finish 🙂

This really plays to my strengths, combining my love for

writing,
improving OpenStreetMap, free data, and freedom-respecting software,
reviewing (as a child, I liked to review the theatre I watched with my parents…my parents and their theatre friends would often ask me for my review after the show, and would listen to me intently 🥺)
…and trying new things to eat and drink!

If you like my open data reviews, photos, and places, please support me on Liberapay!

I’m unemployed, and I’d much rather help the people by improving the commons rather than enriching some CEO at a meaningless corporate job 🙂

PS - Ratings may look different between MapComplete and Mangrove Reviews. Mangrove Reviews stores ratings as a score out of 100, but whereas MapComplete displays ratings as fractional stars, Mangrove Reviews displays them as integer stars.

Wrote some reviews on #MangroveReviews (@mangroveReviews) via @MapComplete

First - there's a 1000 character limit. Ouch. (On Mastodon I have the option of making a thread. Not so on Mangrove Reviews.)

Second - I can't edit my reviews? 🤔
