In this meeting, the main issue discussed was finding a solution for filtering search results based on location radius. The person explained that they were having trouble with their external API and wanted to explore alternative solutions. They discussed the possibility of using pagination and making multiple requests with different radius values. They also considered starting with a baseline radius and adjusting it based on previous user requests. The meeting participants also discussed options for improving performance and optimizing subsequent requests. They mentioned the idea of using a slider scale or using ZIP codes to determine the density of an area. They agreed to start with a radius of three miles and adjust as needed. The meeting concluded with the understanding that geographic searching can be challenging but worth the effort to serve customers better.
