How it's built

From open data to a fast, flat site.

From OpenStreetMap

Every listing comes from OpenStreetMap, the map anyone can edit. A script asks for every named library, park, surgery and so on within a few miles of Old Market Square and writes them to one file.

Rebuilt, not maintained

Nobody edits a listing by hand. When something is wrong, it gets fixed on OpenStreetMap, the data is fetched again, and the whole site is rebuilt from it.

Fast because it's flat

Every place and category is a plain page, built once, served from a cache near you. No database, no cookies, no scripts from anyone else. The search runs on your device.

What this is, and isn't

Read this before you rely on it.

Not the council.

Informatio isn't run by Nottingham City Council, the NHS or any public body. For anything official, go to them.

Not complete, not checked.

It lists what OpenStreetMap had on the day it was fetched, with the details OpenStreetMap had. Missing places and wrong hours happen. Phone before you set off.

Fixable by anyone.

Every place page links to its entry on OpenStreetMap. Fix it there and the next rebuild picks it up, here and on every other map that uses the data.

Questions

Things people ask.

Why isn't my local place listed?

Either it isn't on OpenStreetMap yet, it has no name there, or it falls outside the kinds of place this site covers. Adding it to OpenStreetMap fixes the first two.

Can I use the data?

Yes. The whole list is published as a file under the same open licence as the source, the ODbL. Credit OpenStreetMap contributors and share any improvements under the same terms.

Who built this, and why?

Jordan Brookes, as a concept site: a demonstration that a useful directory can be built from open data and run without a database or a maintenance budget. The About page has the honest version.
