Hello Product Hunt! 👋

I'm the creator of midway@

My friends and I live all over the city. We could never agree on a fair place to meet.

A spot that looks to be in the middle on a map is rarely fair. A 20-minute drive is completely different from a 20-minute bus or train journey. Simple map tools just don't understand that.

That's why I built midway@

Our app's main goal is to find spots that have an equal travel time for everyone.

It’s not about distance, it’s about the actual time it takes to get there.

The best part? It works perfectly for public transport. It understands train, bus, and subway routes to find a location that is genuinely easy for everyone to reach.

Here’s how we make it fair:

  1. Equal Travel Time, Not Just Distance: You and your friends choose how you're traveling—car, on foot, or by public transport. Our app calculates the real travel time for everyone and finds the most balanced spot.

  2. Plan in Seconds: Just pick a vibe like "coffee" or "dinner," add your friends, and let the app do the hard work.

  3. Get Great Venue Ideas: We suggest real cafes, restaurants, and parks in the perfect area, so you have great options to choose from.

  4. Works for the Whole Squad: You can add as many friends as you want. We'll find a spot that’s fair for the entire group.

I wanted to end the "where should we meet?" debate for good.

Spend less time planning and more time actually hanging out. We'd love for you to try it and give us your feedback. I'll be here all day to answer your questions.

@ikapilm Personally, I would pick more possibilities for transport – trams, metro, plane? :D just thinking aloud.

Kapil Mittal

@busmark_w_nika public transit is already integrated, flights i wanted to add but thought was an overkill feature. btw thanks for the feedback would ask more people what they think about flights

Launching soon!

Yes, this is a problem I have often. I just tried it out and it worked but it was a little impractical. I often want to meet friends in different parts of the country for a weekend in the middle so I searched for "campsite". I'd appreciate being able to see the map before clicking in, the swipe wasn't great as an interface on the desktop. Very promising, bookmarking and upvoting!

Kapil Mittal

@kevin_mcdonagh1 thats a good feedback, i'll implement the map in the next version

💡 Bright idea

Very cool! I had a very similar idea recently, I'm glad it's been brought to life! I'm not an app builder, but I have a few use cases/ideas to share if you're open to it!

@fargar thanks for the lovely feedback :))

Lien Chueh

Considering public transport is so important, especially in big cities like Toronto where it's almost a necessity to use public transit due to how terrible traffic in the city is. I also like that it flags "crowd favorite" locations too!

Kapil Mittal

@lienchueh thanks!!

Kate Ramakaieva

Love this concept. Does it factor in the new metro routes here? Big congrats on the launch!

Kapil Mittal

@kate_ramakaieva yes it does, give it a try!!

Congratulations on the launch!

Chris Lucas

Love seeing a fun, thoughtful consumer product in the middle of all the B2B launches lately. Super useful idea—surprised this didn’t exist already. Curious how you’re thinking about virality or use cases beyond just one-off meetups? Congrats!

Kapil Mittal

@chrislucas I was thinking of it as calendly of offline meetups. you just share your link –> other person taps one button –> we show midways –> you select the spot & time –> invite sent along with transit route

Pulkit Garg

Midway@ nails the problem of finding a fair meeting spot love that it balances real travel time for car, bike, transit, or walking! How does it handle dynamic factors like traffic or transit delays in real time?

Kapil Mittal

@pulkitgarg it gets live data from google maps

Grady Hadar

This is the perfect way for friends to optimize decision making and plan meetups. Very useful tool!
