I'm super pleased with how it all came together, and the response today has been really heartwarming. Shoutout to local comic stores, go check one out if you haven't been in a while. And if you're not sure where to find yours, I've got just the thing. findyourcomic.store

Anyone can report a problem with a listing straight from the map. Those reports also go into a review queue for us to address, and pipe into Slack for us to keep an eye on. If the reporter provided an email, they’ll get notified once the report is resolved, because it's nice to know you were heard.

The claim requests and problem reports all stack up in a special part of the admin, with some filterable listing pages for the full stores database, users, etc.

Retailers can claim their store listings to own how their store appears: - Set hours (including scheduling future changes, and holiday closures) - Add events - Link to social media - Upload a banner, logo, and store photos - Fine-tune their map pin position so it’s where their store actually is

When retailers request to claim a store, it goes into a review queue, and posts in our Slack so it's easy for us to keep an eye on. Once approved, the retailer has a full edit interface to update their store any time they’d like. No "email us for changes" — a full edit UI.

The main map UI is Vue and Tailwind (with a little Headless UI), and the data all comes from Laravel with Inertia. But the admin is where things get fun.
