Features

Below is a list of some potential features to add to Ravenous:

• Make addresses clickable and have them open the address in Google Maps in a new tab
• Make images clickable and have them open the business' website in a new tab
• Clicking on a different sorting option automatically requeries the Yelp API, rather than having to manually click "Let's Go" again
• Implement your own type of sort (for example, by entering a distance or radius from a central location)
• Allow you to search by pressing "Enter" (or "Return") on your keyboard, as opposed to manually clicking
• Add autocompletion of addresses to the "Location" input
