Just thought I'd share something I've been working on. Basically it's a message relay that sends messages to others around you (given GPS coordinates from browser). Can choose range from "Range" pull down near top left (hover over options for approximate distances). Back end is written in Rust.
- orobinson 7y agoNeat idea. Little bit of feedback: would be good if you could get the interface working nicely on mobile. It’s very cumbersome at the moment.
- nemasu 7y agoYes! This is top priority at the moment, I'm eyeing mobile twitch chat style, simpler, more compact, less bubbly.
- mod 7y agoHow does it work when you would be alone in a given range? Because I almost certainly am at "Bonfire" range (there are maybe a few hundred people within 10km of me), yet I am seeing messages.
- nemasu 7y agoCheck the box beside the range selection to lock yourself in that range
- mirimir 7y agoCool! It seems to work well, and respects with no hassle my IP-based location.
- wycy 7y agoCoincidentally, years ago I had an idea for an app like this and I was going to call it "Bonfire". Aside from an inquiry with the owners of the bonfire.com domain name as to their interest in selling, I never went anywhere with the idea.
