How do Airbnb implemented localization and realtime booking? - geolocation

I was wondering if anyone know about how did the Airbnb implemented their system such that only local listings or listings within a specific area (based on the postal code) will appear to the user ? And also , how did they implemented real time booking so that if a property gets booked , it won't appear available to the next person ? Are there any API's available that could help me implement the same for my store ?
If anyone could provide any guidance , that will be very helpful.
Thank you !

AirBNB don't use Shopify.
It's an entirely different system. With that, they'll have very different technical abilities.

Passing specific delivery instructions through to ChowNow from online ordering link

I'm helping develop an online ordering process for a local business, and they are offering food delivery to their location from specific partnered restaurants. The problem we're looking to solve is making the experience as smooth as possible for the user, so we're aiming to fill out these specific data fields to make the process smoother. They have QR codes on their tables, that link directly to their websites ordering page, from there the user can select from a few local restaurants, and are linked to their online ChowNow menus.
Does anyone have any experience using ChowNow, and knows if there is any way to pass off specific delivery instructions to ChowNow, specifically an address, from the link provided to the users from the QR code on their table?
We haven't found anything too helpful on this problem from ChowNow's official documentation or support. There are alternate ways that we have in mind to solve this problem if need be, but this is the desired solution from the client, and we would like to have stick with this method if possible.

AppSheet: I need FILTER the data and show each user the rows that contains his NAME

I have this Users Sheet and the login process is working perfectly (if the user Email is contained in the Users list then the data will showup).
Now i need to show the user the data that contains his name only (Filter), from where i can do that ? and whats the code ?
Thanks in advance :)
You'll want to implement the Current User system in your app
This will allow for all sorts of advanced functionalities
FYI: you'll be better served searching for answers in the official AppSheet Community; it's been around for years, with tons of really detailed posts (full of good follow-up questions and answers)

Rails app for food truck, using twitter to update the google map.

So I am writing a rails application for my friends food truck business.
The functionality that I am trying to create with this specific application is the ability for him to update the google map by posting a Geo-location tag on twitter.
A lot of the ruby gems that deal with google maps seem to be depreciated so I'm a bit lost at the moment. If anyone could just point me in the correct direction I would appreciate it.
I realize that this feature is just a quality of life feature but id like to be able to do it with embedded ruby and not have to break out the JavaScript (ugh). Ideal this kind of automation would be great for this particular type of website because my friend won't always have access to the back-end of the website when he is on the move. (Already able to update a map from an admin backend but its not good enough for a business that moves multiple places in a given day.)
anyways, thanks in advance. (if anyone wants me to post any of my code I will.)
So after reading your question, I thought it would be fun to tinker with the Twitter API again since I haven't used it in a while.
I went ahead and created a sample application for you that basically does what you were asking for. It looks for recent tweets from a user, grabs the latest one, then updates a Google map with a marker on that location.
Keep in mind that this was quickly thrown together, so it's far from perfect. But all the concepts should be there!
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the app or anything else. I'm always happy to help.

Accessing quizzes and turnitin.com dropboxes with valence

I am trying to collect some information on the usage of quizzes and turnitin.com enabled dropboxes for specific courses within the d2l database. All I really need is a way to tell via valence whether or not a course offering has a turnitin.com enabled dropbox and/or a quiz associated with it, though other useful information would be nice as well. Is there a way to do this with valence? I should note that I am aware of how to access a list of standard dropboxes, but I cannot seem to find how to tell if that particular dropbox is turnitin.com enabled. I have no starting point for quizzes. I appreciate your help, and please let me know if I can clarify anything. Thank you.
There is no current way to identify, through Valence, a TurnItIn enabled Dropbox. Our TurnItIn integration is an extension available to customers who have the appropriate TurnItIn licensing. Because we cannot assume it is in place, we cannot expose this data through Valence. I am not sure if this information would be available through TurnItIn API's.
In regards to Quizzes, today we don't have Quiz data exposed through Valence. One option for you, which isn't perfect, would be to parse through Content Topics looking for Quicklinks which contain a reference type of quiz. This would provide you with a list of how many quizzes are linked into the course's content experience.
