People need to go home sometimes. This would be pretty complicated dealing with issues like someone being late to get their stuff. At least a shop can say come back tomorrow.
- notyourwork 7y agoA car can declare delivery during a fixed time range.
- Waterluvian 7y agoYeah it's a state persistence issue. Your worker literally times out and state is lost. So maybe a central repository (database) or hand-off to a new worker. Then there's the whole idea of security and trust. Like I said, it's a dumb idea. Which is why I expect to see an SV startup try it.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoA mixture could work though: Store in shops long term. Summon it on demand.
- Waterluvian 7y agoLove it. Let's make this. SMS: Summon My Shit. On-demand storage and delivery in your city's "cloud".
- aherforth 7y agoHi, I'm Cody's co-founder. That is literally the origin of Bounce. "Bounce" your things away from you and back to you when you need them again. As mentioned it obviously comes with a host of challenges that you don't have in the current decentralised and static model - but I do believe it's achievable. And it's definitely something we want to tackle long term! I love your name idea ;) SMS. Are you in SF?
- Waterluvian 7y agoCool. I just assumed that it was about the expediency of "drop our stuff off quick and let's bounce!" Do kids still say that these days?
- cody3222 7y agoYes! Haha love it. Adding delivery to Bounce will be a game-changer. Then you can 'bounce your stuff'
- giancarlostoro 7y agoHeh Summon My Stuff works too
- cody3222 7y agoWe very clearly state the opening hours and make you select when you're coming back to avoid these scenarios. That seems to do the trick!
