Hi, seems interesting, but I was thinking what separates you from the default Facebook events or when a user needs to post an update about the time he is coming?
- manishk 11y agoI think facebook events is more catered towards events i.e weddings, parties etc and not the weekly casual hangouts we do with our friends. Moreover I haven't met a lot of users who actually use it despite it being around for a long time. About your question, the user doesn't have to enter any information for ETA. The app calculates that based on the hangout destination and your current location.
- thehorbach 10y agowell in that case have you considered the battery usage? I mean doing even the simplest mapping in the background could drain so much of battery life.
- manishk 10y agoWe have worked on making the tracking part as efficient as possible(code optimizations). Also the tracking will be on for a very limited time 45 mins to 1 hour(around decided time to meet) and the interval for location updates will not be very small hence helping in battery preservation.
