Ask HN: Is there an app that shares data only by geolocation
As in, I have to be in a radius of something in order to unlock a certain type of data. Does something like this exist?
I knew of people attempting to create 'discount floats' based on geo-location - as in, a retailer with the app would 'float' a specific discount at a specific point and anyone with the app who happened to pass within a certain radius would get a notification/coupon of the discount.
However, it didn't pick up here in India because smartphones and app downloads weren't all that ubiquitous two years ago, when they tried to implement this idea. Now, the results may be different, who knows.
