Hey HN - This is the first app I’ve built, it was coded with Ruby on Rails. I built it as a way to explore Uber’s new ride request API. I haven’t seen anything using their API where you don’t know where you are going until after the Uber ride finishes. It got a little bit of press last week, but I really value the HN community and I would love to get your honest feedback. Is this something you’d use? Concerns you have that would keep you from using it? Do you have suggestions on how to improve the homepage?
Great app! Have had a lot of fun trying it out. Especially like the spontaneous nature of it, certainly spices up the evening trying new places. Hook in with Tinder or Grindr to also grab a date?
Thats an awesome idea. Available in every city where Uber operates? If so, I might use it myself soon.
Thanks, yes it's available any city that has uber and yelp. The car hierarchy that it looks for availability is uberX > uberPOP > uberBLACK.
