Hello HN,

oruapp acts as a twitter for your local area. any message you send will be delivered to everyone within 0.5km radius. its an ideal solution for socializing in conferences, universaties/colleges, events (sports, tech, academic etc).

no one near you? we got you covered, we will increase the radius till we find a recipient for your message.

send one-to-one message even if the recipient is not near you by @mentioning the recipient's handle in the message.

no registraton, no password, its just that simple.

Cool logo. Can I leave messages in a location? I think that'd be a neat feature.

You should also make a Web app. This is too simple to make me want to download it, and get people nearby to download it.

There is nothing stopping us from creating a web app. But the use case is less priority for us as most people are getting connected using mobile and we want to stick with it.

Thanks

And no you can't leave a message in locations.
