Description

Hi! I'm Phil from OpenOakland.

Why?

  • Text is often easier to read than a map (map illiteracy is a thing)
  • Text is more accessible for the visually impaired.
  • Easier to deal with long lists (simple vertical scrolling).
  • Easy to enhance results (like loading supplemental data (store hours) or getting public transit directions).

Examples: Yelp! search results

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing local-results and map-view rendering code, then define the list-view behavior and accessibility requirements before implementing it; done means local search results can be read and scrolled as a text list.
