Thank you for the compliment!
Nowy Friends is not a friend-tracking app: you don't see friends on a map, the app doesn't track where you or your friends are.
If you're asking how to restrict who of your friends can know when you're nearby (e.g., Jack and Jill, but not John), then, in its current form, you cannot do this. We have ideas on how to build such a feature, but our current ideas make discovering your nearby friends slower.
Regarding advertising availability only at certain times, the app enables you to go in stealth mode, where basically advertising and friend discovery are turned off, it's as if you turned bluetooth off for the app.
Finally, when you talk about sharing your position with a friend, do you imagine this happens when they're nearby? For example, you're in an underground pub, and Nowy Friends tells you that Jack is nearby, but you can't see him, so you'd like to send him your GPS coordinates? If so, we think GPS coordinates is not the best option as it may not be precise enough. You could, instead, text them to set up a meeting point or the 2 phones could coordinate to show the same color, and then you'd raise your phone and look around for a phone showing the same color as yours.
