Show HN: Localfiles, share files by pinning them to geographic locations
- fiatjaf 10y agoThe basic use-case I see for this is for sharing non-sensitive data when you don't want to remember an URL (even if it is a small URL, it is sometimes impossible to remember /hY6t7m), when you can't send an URL in written form to the receiver of the file (spelling URLs is a mess), or when you want to share a file with your grandparents or any non-tech-savvy person who doesn't know what an URL is.

- happycodework 10y agoCool idea! I think a twin app would be great, with the focus of a campus or office... Ex for work kitchen is a location, and meeting room N is a location. Would work well for colleges also, ex band room files
- fiatjaf 10y agoI don't get it, you mean something like not specifying a location in a map, but just writing "kitchen"?
- happycodework 10y agoNo but having a subset of locations as an option (or different app) Ex employee walks into 10am meeting and app says here is the files for this meeting, ex scrum sheet for the day. Or walk into the cafeteria and the app says here's the files ex menu and cafeteria rules.
- fiatjaf 10y agoI think this is a great idea (for a different app). It could also have location-based reminders and messages from others, all in a protected, safe environment, for companies and other teams that interact together. Also for personal stuff (like someone remembering things, remembering files and getting messages from friends on special locations). I would like to write that, but it would require a switched-on GPS, which would kill the phone battery in 2 hours.
