Built a free map and community board for Pokemon card hunting (restocks, local shops, vending machines)

Hey all, wanted to share something I built and hear what the community thinks.

It's called TCG Stops (tcgstops.com), a free map of where to find Pokemon cards near you. Local card shops, retail spots like Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, and GameStop, plus TCG/Pokemon vending machines.

The part that I feel that makes this site stand out compared to other tracking sites is the community side of it. Anyone can post what they found, report what's in stock, hash it out with other collectors, and comment and reply on each other's posts. You can add friends, compare profiles, and build a stop list that you can run through a route optimizer to get the most efficient order to hit them all, based on driving distance. Notifications, messaging, and an overhauled UI is also in the works.

You don't need an account to browse or post. Guests get a random anon name and keep full access to the core features. An account unlocks the extras.

It's around 15k locations right now across the US and totally free. I'd love to hear what's missing (definitely lacking LCS coverage outside Chicagoland), whether the posting and reporting side is something you'd actually use, and if your local shop isn't on there yet, you can suggest it directly in the app. Those get added fast, and I'm actively encouraging more submissions.

Thanks! Let me know what you all think!
