Show HN: Geobird – Yet another location-first social network +More +AMA

Hi everyone,

About Geobird;

From the viewpoint of a sharer, everything you share are currently public, it’s there to be discovered, you share them with the world and people nearby.

From the viewpoint of an explorer, someone who wants to know more about the world, you can pan to any part of the world, see what’s happening in that location, what people are sharing.

From the viewpoint of a local person, you have the opportunity to reach people nearby, whether it’s a cause, or just a happy moment you want to share, similarly, you get notifications from nearby.

From the viewpoint of an introvert, at the “More” section there are native social features for movies, tvshows and books, I’m personally very fond of the tvshows feature

I tried to shape Geobird for many use cases, at this point, only time and feedback will tell whether I was successful.

About the Journey;

Started 4 years ago, I’m not proud of how long it has been, launched in the 1.5th year, fixed bugs, improved the backend significantly with first users until the 2nd year, launched the mobile apps around the 3rd year and here we are, a lot of iterations later (originally intended 4 years to be 6 months, lol)

Initially intended building geobird with a team, tried to recruit a designer friend I knew, failed, decided to build a prototype myself and extend the team later on, I’m glad I initially failed being a company (of people), if I built geobird at a company scale, my funds would be almost exhausted by now - but being a one person operation, I can keep on failing for years, keep the product alive forever and only grow in case widespread adoption ever happens

I would appreciate any kind of feedback and criticism, + Ask me anything,

you should advertise under social network worldwide on adwords. You can probably get some traffic pretty cheap around the world and that will add a steady flow of users.
