Screenshot looks a lot like what danger.systems provides.

How is issue triaging related to code reviews? Trying to imagine how that is useful

What do you like about it?

I totally understand :)

The history of software has quite a few examples where software solves people problems

Congrats on the launch! I see payment gateway as the first product on the top nav - perhaps a noob question, but how is this different from Razorpay?

Arjun from HyperTrack here. We are building a developer tool that integrates with your in-house stack. Here's how some one can move away from HyperTrack.

- HyperTrack does not store any information about your end customers, or reach out to them. We empower you with information that can be sent to them. Eg, "your order is being delayed by x mins" is available as a webhook, which you can potentially use to fire a notification to your customers.

- In addition, all data that is collected and visualised is accessible via APIs. Developers can retrieve data, and store it in-house.

- The HyperTrack mobile SDKs will be open source, and it will be possible to hook it up with a different backend. This will allow you to utilise the robustness of the SDK without relying on our backend.

Does that answer your concerns?

Ah, old post actually, dated Nov 2016. Just wanted to share it for the variable freq approach - sorry for the confusion! We released a major update of the SDK this March which brought in significant improvements due to sensor data.

My bad, I should have been clearer. Both Glympse and Pathshare are great products and have APIs, but their approach is not developer first. For example, Glympse has guidelines for developers to showcase Glympse branding[1], something I personally as a developer don't appreciate, especially when some of the views are consumer facing. Or the fact that Pathshare's SDKs[2] haven't been updated in more than a year, even though their app has had multiple updates recently. As a developer tool, we focus on enabling developers to build location features in their apps, with the latest and greatest of our product running silently in the background.

APIs! HyperTrack is built to integrate into your existing product experience and workflows.

I'm guessing you're referring to MQTT. With smaller packet sizes it's more battery efficient than HTTP if you're making continuous network requests. Great comparison post here: http://stephendnicholas.com/posts/power-profiling-mqtt-vs-ht...

We've been amazed at how developers across logistics and delivery companies, messaging products, SaaS platforms, and marketplaces have used our SDKs and APIs to build live location features in their apps, and we're very excited to enable all of them. Thanks for your wishes!

Google Maps and other map APIs are great for visuals, routes and ETAs. Where they lack is generating a battery efficient accurate location stream and mapping that to your app's workflow. Plus, map APIs are priced on the basis of number of API calls or views, both of which can lead to unpredictable cost for such a feature. For a more detailed analysis, check out our blog post: https://blog.hypertrack.com/2017/04/23/building-live-locatio...

Yes.

We have several large scale businesses that are paid customers and find it cheaper to use us, than build it in-house. It's about the cost of an engineer, and that's a fraction of what they will incur, ongoing operating costs notwithstanding

Yep. Location based assignments and live order tracking are two of our most popular use-cases.

<1% per hour. This is achieved by: 1. use consumption patterns to know when to transmit data (eg, if no one is actively tracking, no need to transmit data on radio) [1] 2. using accelerometer and gyroscope data to know when to collect data (eg, if you're not moving, no need to use GPS)

The mobile SDKs that you integrate in your apps are open source.

Really looking forward to 3D Touch use picking up, now that every notification is 3D Touch-able.

Essential summary: bitcoin mining needs cheap electricity, and so bitcoin mines are located poetically between other traditional commodity prices mines in Tibet. Chinese influence is absent, but could affect flow of transactions in the future.

Would be awesome to have real time status on queues sizes. Sucks to end up at a crowded Doner place when I'm starving :)

Totally. Have you seen OSM Analytics - it has some really visualizations on how the data of geographies has evolved over time - in terms of roads, buildings etc. This link[1] shows Tanzania, for example.

Great question. It's a combination of gps data[1] and a lot of manual work. Mapbox for one has strong data teams running mapping initiatives[2].

My favourite resource on Kalman is Tucker McClure's work: http://www.anuncommonlab.com/articles/how-kalman-filters-wor...

I can't seem to get over the old google talk inside gmail view. So snappy to use!

The Sovereign Individual. Highly recommended.

Loved it, covers arithmetic, algebra, geometry, combinatorics. Just wanted to add math is also the study of change - and that covers analysis.

I was wondering why a link to Medium when the post is somewhere else, but then I realised HN's submission criteria is f(karma, domain of submission)
