    Parking is tight in some parts of San Francisco and sometimes you need to park for more than 2 hours. PayByPhone doesn't have an reverse search by address - their support pages claims this is possible but I could not find it in the app. This weekend I needed it - a 3 hour event and my normal approach - pay manually, take a photo of the parking meter id, then when the first paid-for-parking period expires I pay for more parking using the app by typing in the parking id. For reasons this did not go to plan and I ended up doing google street view searches for the parking meter and then uploading fuzzy images to claude to run ocr to get the id - far from ideal and far from successful. So i built this site to do address search as well as lat long search.
