This is really great!
A few years ago I worked for a small startup using a tiny live/work loft as an office in the heart of downtown San Diego.
We had the exact same issue you describe where 7 guys and 3 gals were all terrified to use the restroom because any little sound could be heard through the wall into the main space.
Because of that we started seeking out other places to deal with nature, which led to the phrase "I'm going to visit the Hilton".
Needless to say by the end of my time working there I knew the nearby Hilton & Marriott hotels in and out, including how to act like a guest to gain access to the better restrooms (although they surely caught on).
At the time I wondered whether a crowd-sourced bathroom finder app would be feasible and purchased the domain thronehunter.com, which I still own to this day!
- testmasterflex 4y agoThank you! This is exactly our office situation! I have a friend who walks to his parents house 5 minutes away whenever he has a date at home. And another friend that takes the elevator 14 stairs down to the common washing facilities in his apartment building that has an extra bathroom.
- holler 4y agoLol! That is too funny, and it's great hearing stories like those to remind me that we're all really similar. I've done the same thing many times in my life out of fear of the sounds or the sm.. you get the point! Good luck on your project, it's a great idea! Oh and two thoughts: - I like the name but I read it in my head at first as "Loo-di-doo" (I'm dyslexic). Then I realized that has a nice ring to it as you can almost hum it. Loodidoo Loodidoo - For 2nd generation how feasible would it be to add an automatic scent dispenser? So e.g. after X minutes of no movement, spray a nice scent to clear the air.
- testmasterflex 4y ago1. Haha, isn’t that a cute sound though. Loodidoo! I actually am very content with the name. Loodio. It’s short. 6 letters. Nothing else has that name in the SERP. It’s easy to say in any language. Loo + Radio = Loodio. 2. Yeah have thought about that. It’s just a lot of work first to just finish this product as I would like to have it. One day for sure. Perhaps partner with some air freshener company.
- holler 4y agoI can tell you've put real hard work into this, that's quite an achievement! You should be proud. I do like the name and now it makes sense :)
