Show HN: Picks a fair meeting point for your group, whatever their commute types
I've started working on this two years ago, on and off some weekends when inspired.
I made it first for my group of friends, to solve a real frustration we had.
Basically, when meeting on Friday night, we spent so much back-and-forth on our WhatsApp group debating on where to meet.
Ken is at the absolute west of Paris, by car. I'm in the center, with a bike. Other friends are all around and use public transport.
And if you didn't have strong arguments, you'd always end up near Ken's place, 'cause he was more assertive.
Togather solves this: it takes the starting points of everyone (you can input them, or your friends can), takes commute types for each, and finds 3 meeting points that are fair.
Fair is: average commute type is low, and spread is low.
I'm still thinking on how to improve it, and then to market it. Would love some feedback!
Thanks all,
Luka
- TrufiAssoc 2mo agoA fantastic idea! I will share this on our social networks. Could this work with OpenStreetMap instead of Google Maps?
- bouli-love 2mo agoThanks! It currently is set up to work only with Google Maps, as it does all the following with the different APIs: - Calculation geolocations - Finding an epicenter zone - Finding places (I only show +4 stars venues) I am looking into Mapbox and OpenStreetMap if I need to change for cost-efficiency though. Would you prefer OpenStreetMap?
