   The hardest work is getting users on both sides of the transaction when you’re doing it from scratch. It’s tough regardless of the tech. And then 15 years ago gps enabled apps were not as easy as today. GPS errors are compounded when there’

   Wow this is super cool! I've hacked together some equivalent for small projects. Curious if these are hosted as tiles that can be referenced by third-party servers? For context I'm working on an app called 3DStreet[1]. It's m

   I am intrigued by the concept of an open source Uber equivalent. I was involved early in a few rideshare app concepts before Uber came to market and it was surprisingly complicated. You have the technical challenges combined with being a &q

   I love this! There is similar inspiration in the US with non-profits such as KidSafeSF [1] in San Francisco or Families for Safe Streets [2]. I also have a fullstack background and have taken an approach to work on the street design softwar

    Unclear if they had these rules in place already but I'm curious... If the rule permits writing when the userid matches, presumably there is nothing stopping the write operation to change the userid value, to your point. Which then lea

    Instead of knee jerk firebase is bad, can we discuss how this could be abated properly with firebase rules for firestore? Is this the rule that was missing for arcs boosts or whatever object? ``` match /objects/{object} {

    This is super impressive! I'd agree the open-source tooling isn't there yet, but it's coming in a few places. I started a 3D street visualizer but it's only at the scope of a few blocks at a time, not as large as a city
