XerXis Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Working on a new social network and after months of work finally ready to share the first results. In short, we made a social network that is completely location based, you can find more information on http://www.krumb.eu At the moment we have two apps, one made in swift for ios: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/krumb/id958848912?mt=8 And one for android (still very much in beta though) made with xamarin: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.krumb.android We're planning on porting the android xamarin app to a windows universal app in the future.The backend is completely azure based and very scalable. Let me know what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 An alternative for facebook? I'll have to keep a lookout for this, small businesses are trolled into oblivion at the moment, this might just be the break needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need a website for people who don't want to pull their phones out all the time The problem is that that would break the concept of "only here", location services in the browser are not always accurate enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted June 12, 2015 Veteran Share Posted June 12, 2015 The problem is that that would break the concept of "only here", location services in the browser are not always accurate enough most modern browsers are location aware if you have location ability in the OS not just using IP Geolocation or only using IP geolocation as a fallback if GPS or Assisted GPS isn't available so it you are using a tablet say a windows one with GPS you'd get pretty good location data...

TAZMINATOR Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The problem is that that would break the concept of "only here", location services in the browser are not always accurate enough People don't care about location, no matter if it's accurate or not.. They all do is access the web or app. most modern browsers are location aware if you have location ability in the OS not just using IP Geolocation or only using IP geolocation as a fallback if GPS or Assisted GPS isn't available so it you are using a tablet say a windows one with GPS you'd get pretty good location data...

I'll write it down as a todo and relay it to the people whose idea it was, windows tablets will be supported with a universal app after the android app is complete. It's just so much work/money to get everything up and running on two platforms, we'll be adding more in the future People don't care about location, no matter if it's accurate or not.. They all do is access the web or app. This. maybe, but the entire app is based around location, it's kind of the core concept . So you can disagree with the concept, and that's fine, but I can't make a client that allows people to see krumbs from a location where they are not (and yes, I know that it is always possible to get around that) because that would break the entire vision.

Torolol Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The world doesn't really need more social networks.i prefer no social networks myself, but as the rest of the world doesn't want it that way, i opt for more fragmented social networks.
