Got and integrated some great feedback from this community before, including adding a new Incognito post option and other social logins.
Appreciate feedback, specifically around whether we should a) Limit ability to comment/vote on posts that are far away from you, to maintain conversations local b) Whether a local ("leaderboard" / influence/ meowmeow points) would be interesting here, based on positive contributions c) Anything that would make this more useful for you and make you want to use the app more
We think that technology has helped us communicate better with groups of people we select, but as an unintended effect we get pretty disconnected from the world and people physically around us. We want to bring back the "town square" to our communities in a modern way.
Our inspiration was going to Coachella and other music festivals, and wanting to capture the spirit of community there and extend it to our day to day. Even if we're not Facebook friends, we're connected to the people around us.
