Fair point, for sure. Though if they've been paying attention, I'd expect them to be beyond mutiny at this point!

It will be interesting to watch these two products evolve in parallel. I suspect that user experience will be the main differentiator.

I live in a tourist area on the southeast Atlantic coast, and I absolutely enjoyed all of the families running around in the streets when Pokémon Go came out. I do hope that Niantic have ramped up both infrastructure and support.

Simplest trick for me (and anecdotally for my peers in the developer world): track your time. Pomodoro technique [1] can give some structure if you're not used to it, with the main benefit (to me) that it forces you to quickly track &a
