Building a Yelp like app is possible with the right idea, UX focus, and backend team. Would you target reviews, maps, or bookings first?

If you’re thinking about an app like Yelp, the key is offering real value beyond listings. Users want updated info, trust, and a sense that the platform is alive. That’s why I like projects that feel curated and community-driven. I recently came across gonmap.com, which works more like a living business catalog than a static directory, and that approach makes discovery feel more natural and useful.
