For Near Me, what services do we have to find the radius? I have implemented something like this in the past utilizing Google's Distance Matrix for finding radius based on HTML Location API/Phone Geolocation API but it was for one-by-one search so it didn't have as many results.

Assuming users will provide their location by not blocking the location request prompt, do we have a service that will populate radius data for all the locations?

As of now, no. I'll look into this more. One of the issues with the application is that people want to remain as anonymous as possible, so there will have to be some consideration about how this is handled, as well.

Hmm, we can make it anonymous by only getting the location and pushing it to the service without keeping it. That way it's a matter of disclaimer.

Not sure what other options we have for generating the radius beyond using their geolocation or general location by IP.
