24.hour.taxi - When is an app not an app?

http://24.hour.taxi - Search for a taxi wherever you are.

Hi. I would be interested to know if this site works for you.

It uses the geo-location function found in modern browsers to give an app-like experience in the browser. i.e. no downloads, no sign-in (or sign-up) to an app store.

If you add to your homescreen it should also look like a conventional app.

Works across devices as the browser is the platform not the device (challenge is to make it work across browsers of course). Downside is needs user permission (which may be turned off globally - deep within their settings somewhere - so I may ultimately need a conventional app anyway).

Anyway. If you can try it and provide feedback I would appreciate it!

Any thoughts?

it looks nice on the computer but black background color is not suitable with yellow color.

Hey thanks for your comment. Yes I can see now that on a desktop its not a great color combination. Will try something else.

Since uploading the site I have read it may be classed as a "progressive web app" although I'm not exactly sure tbh.
