IDEA: browser extension to enrich every address, coordinate or map with anything

Overthere

User Interaction:

  • Physical addresses, coordinates or maps in any webpage you are merely a visitor of, can be enriched with location-based information of your current interests.

Technically:

  • browser extension that detects (schema.org/address), suggests (regex guessing), and allows for manual selection of the geographical location or area.
  • Injects icons with a score within the webpage, depending preferences. The icon is also where you can find a configuration menu.
  • Anything is possible for related information, as it will have a plug-in structure

Some suggestions for data to enrich with:

  • air pollution data and location of sources (Tropomi, PlumeLabs, samenmeten.nl, etc.). Even more interesting at the moment because of a correlation with COVID-19.
  • fastest bike route there from current GPS(-like) position, compared to driving including traffic and parking
  • likelihood of being underwater because of sea level rise
  • likelihood of droughts and floodings (based on soil layers and climate)
  • solar energy potential
  • noise data (partially from explane.org app?)
  • nearest vegan restaurant, train station, play garden, etc.
  • crime risks
  • soil data
  • land registry

Possible side effects

  • People browsing for a house to buy, within that flow see the air quality overthere and change decisions because of that.
  • People consider air quality more important as they don't want to have trouble selling their house in the future.
  • Companies consider air quality more important as they don't want difficulty attracting paying visitors or personnel.
