I wish you the best with your social app, but I'd like to offer a cautionary tail. Barq, a furry fandom-focused app, has some of the same features. It's primarily for local meetups or seeing when your friends are in town for a convention. Unfortunately, Barq's location data has been used to dox and harass people before (even though they implemented a system that returned "fuzzy" GPS results). If the primary value of the app is "know when person A is at location X", think through all of the ways this information could be used to hurt people. Even contrived and silly ways. And then try to safeguard it as much as possible. I recently shared a blog post about how BlueSky could implement "limited audiences" without changing their current infrastructure. (Spoiler: It involves state-of-the-art cryptography.) It may be worth reading. https://soatok.blog/2024/11/29/imagining-private-airspaces-for-bluesky/ https://soatok.blog/2024/11/29/imagining-private-airspaces-f...
