Apologies for the tone, I understand that it didn't fit with the guidelines. But, to me, the idea behind the app seems blatantly morally wrong.
We should not be encouraging people to either converge on the one grocery store that has the thing that everyone wants. We should not be encouraging people to go to multiple stores to get everything on our shopping list.
This is a disaster, we've got to make some concessions.
- detaro 7y agoAt the same time, we should also avoid people going from store to store until they find a store that has what they are looking for. Which this helps with.
- bacon_waffle 7y agoMy point is that if they don't find what they're looking for, I think the right solution is to get a substitute or go without.
- detaro 7y agoAnd you think this app not existing is going to motivate people to do that?
- bacon_waffle 7y agoThe premise of the app is helping people to not buy substitutes or go without.
- detaro 7y agoAnd my point is that many people want to avoid to "buy substitutes or go without", regardless of us thinking it would be a good idea, and some will avoid it by visiting more stores if they can't find out beforehand where to go, so helping people avoiding it is not necessarily a bad thing.
