I didn’t finish reading. Is there a clean way for a user to input their location instead of it being read drizzly from the machine?
Good question, though wouldn't that be a feature of the browser? It wouldn't be a good user experience asking people to manually enter coordinates.
Yeah, that would be an excellent feature of the browser. That way the site doesn’t even know if it’s your current location or just one you picked.
I was thinking a clickable map. But also allow pasting coordinates.
In Android's development settings you can select an app to spoof the location, but I don't know what apps for this purpose exist.
