waiting for my location to be unlocked, i.e. midtown Manhattan

daveambrose · on Oct 30, 2013

so, a few thoughts now that we have a room created for midtown NYC:

1. no push notifications? seems like a no brainer to have this when a new user enters the "room" (i'm calling these chat spaces that) and when a new message appears. suspect you'll get more re-engagement

2. why do I have a ribbon next to my username? see: https://twitter.com/daveambrose/status/395630523961577473

3. photos! would be good to share media in addition to just text. maybe for a v2

1. you're absolutely right. just pushed an update for push notifications and coding in some logic as we speak

2. you get a ribbon for being an explorer (being one of the people to unlock an area)

3. i want to add media , but im scared it might get crowded with a lot of nudes. maybe if we add karma and let users with a certain amount post, it would work

On top of that, @replies would be awesome as well. We already have a nice Back Bay/Cambridge/Boston chatroom going that is going along fine, but we have already naturally used @replies since we are so used to them.

yea definitely sounds necessary. im just wondering - lets say you leave the 1 mile area, somebody @ replies you, when you open the app you'll be in a totally new spot and the message will be at the old spot.
