The craziest part is, the QR codes have all the data to be able to work offline. But the app requires an internet connection!

- oogabooga123 5y agoWhy is that crazy? The point is tracking movements, how would that be possible if the government can’t see your location?
- hnick 5y agoThey don't need to know where you are, they just need to know when you checked in/out along with a business identifier. Syncing the data later when you're back online would do this fine. I checked my history the other day and noticed some businesses missing so there probably are some bugs in the process.
- dbaupp 5y agoUh, huh, I clearly didn’t test it properly. I had thought I’d validated checking in while offline. Oops: https://github.com/huonw/huonw.github.io/commit/fd19b9d66af7142db3d6f5c5715fe69db6f15a69 https://github.com/huonw/huonw.github.io/commit/fd19b9d66af7... Thanks!
