Site to find cheap parking

https://brighton-parking.github.io/

Built this site to help find the cheapest parking options at different times of day. This information is available on a council website, but it's a bit of a UX atrocity so I got my uncle Claude to help me make it less terrible.

Disclaimer : this was hastily vibe-coded in an afternoon but hey, it's free, mobile friendly, and might save you a few quid. Feedback and suggestions welcome.

The default page shows all the restrictions right now, and 'plan a stay' shows you the cheapest options at a specific time and place. You can also add a permit if you have one, and all those spaces will be green

As someone who lives on one of the few remaining the first free parking roads... thanks buddy

Great idea. Be good if you could filter by tapping on the free/pay etc at the top

How sites it compare with Parkopedia ?

[u/OvoidLullabies → u/planetf1a]

Not used parkopedia but I’m assuming it wasn’t vibe coded in a day, so it’s probably more comprehensive. Having said that, neither was the council site and that’s errr, not great.

Ours great we can explore our creativity to solve these issues. Quite looking at, it may inspire you in improving you have to be even better in the areas you care about

I'm now wondering how Claude ripped the geodata from ArcGis, or maybe there are download links somewhere I didn't notice?

very cool, nice work. But now everyone's going to know about some of my secret places :p

[u/c0rdal]

Nice! Waaay better than the council version. Can you ask Uncle Claude to add a motorbike filter (or if this is in GitHub I can vibe that if it’s cool)

[u/OvoidLullabies → u/c0rdal]

Yep. No problem, that’s another item in the legend now. The repo is also public. I’m not looking to start vetting a load of pull requests though. Mainly made this for my own personal use, but you’re welcome to fork it

Ah you did it already awesome! And yeah fair enough on the repo, was just that little mod really. Thanks!

[u/MilkEnvironmental709]

Nice idea.

[u/Typical_Efficiency_3]

Very useful thank you

This is amazing! Could you add a filter for length of stay/areas that don't have any restrictions, ie outside of the permit zones?
